Every time I drive the car now I can see oil leaking on between the front of the exhaust man and the left side of the oil metering pump (looking from front of car). I can't tell if its my OMP but its definitely coming from above the pan. What else could it be if not the OMP? I'm sorry I don't have a way to take a pic and post it. It's not a constant leak but more after a hard run at higher rpm.

Damn! I was worried about that.... how hard is it to replace? Do I need to replace it even though the leak is not bad enough to where I notice no change in the oil level? Each week there is a few drops under the car.
I wonder if this is a warranty thing.... I still have 2 years left on this full drivetrain warranty from CARS warranty company from when I bought the car.

ok the warranty says: "Engine-all internally lubricated parts; seals and gaskets only if being used for repair of internal parts" so I guess that means I'm going to have to do this one.

I know, I'm surprised they even offered the warranty for up to 4 years yet. I did the same thing when I bought my 86 a few years ago... paid $300 for the extended 3 year warranty and immediately got a $1K+ trans rebuild. Not sure how they make money on it but I'll take full advantage, **** em.
