Yep i found a whole bunch of oil all in under there, its cake all over it and i cant see excatly where its coming from. Somone want to tell me what it could be so i dont have to spend hours cleaning it up?

Thats what i was thinking earlier. Ill just have to go and start cleaning i guess.

j9fd3s

they usually leak really slowly and get that 1-2" buildup

What about the oil metering pump?

j9fd3s

it could be that too, its a little more to the side though

I dont know excatly where its coming from but its that area

cymfc3s

sometimes its hard to tell, the fan usually blows oil everwhere

could also be the bottom of the front cover, at the junction of front cover and oil pan. Especially if the pan has been off and reinstalled with the motor in the car, these bolts often don't get torqued right or the surfaces cleaned before reinstallation because the steering rack/crossmember close proximity.

Anything else there could be? Im going to order the o ring for the omp. I guess if that doesnt work ill try the e shaft seal. And last pengaru's suggestion if nothing else works.
