Oil leak from under car but only leaks when engine warm?

Or maybe it leaks from the pressure while running. It could be from the head gasket, or just simply from the oil filter or plug. Tighten them up.Oil leak from under car but only leaks when engine warm?
This is because as the crankshaft rotates, it ';splashes'; the oil in the oil pan, creating waves in the pan, which in turn waves up against the surrounding rim of the pan, you need to replace the oil pan gasket.
when the engine is warm, the oil is thinner, jack the car up and try to locate the source of leak, things like oil pressure sensor etc
It's most likely some where the oil can only get while it's circulating.
You need 2 replace the oil pan gasket %26amp; check that the oil filter isn't loose!!!
Front or rear seal possibly leaking.
