2005 chevy malibu leaking oil from engine, we can see where its comming from but not sure what the part is called. Its above the oil pan. Seems to be a steady leak when engine has been running for a little while.

If I rember correctly, there are two freeze plugs in the back of the block, behind the flywheel. They generally dont go bad often because they are pretty much protected. As that angelo guy said, more likely a hose or rear of intake gasket, but you have to look, from here I can't see it!!!

Could be the bolt are loose or were over tightened and crushed the gasket.Could it be leaking from some other spot and running back while you drive? If so it may be the front seal.

Replacing an oil pan gasket on a car shouldn't be too difficult for you, say, about an hour or two. As long as you follow some simple guidelines, the leak should be eliminated. Improper tightening or seating of the gasket material can defeat the purpose of your work. Grab a Haynes manual, or a tech guide for your vehicle, and have it handy.

I would suggest tracking the oil leak to ensure that it's not your front seal on your crankshaft. The amount of oil that you describe sounds like a bit much for an undisturbed oil pan gasket.
