Oil leak from ****...

[SHOspazz92]

Ok...so its not the oil pan gasket or the oil level sensor... Here's what I found..

From the wheel well...



Looking at the PS Pump Pulley...



Underneath looking at the Crank Pulley.




And by the rear mount...



So... A lot of it looks like its by the rear mount...however you can see the there is a bit by the crank pulley. For what its worth, The car does not smoke and the only time you smell oil is when the car is stopped after a drive.

What do you guys think?

(Yes, I know there is no Y-Pipe)

Needs cam and crank seals.... IE: front 60k

Front main?


I'm under this silver 92, and, while there isn't oil all over it like yours, there is quite a bit. I think we have the same leak.

Correct. the oil on the motor mount is a cam seal.

ok i agree camshaft seal and front main....i believe mine is leaking in the same spots.. except mine is all over the catalic conveter? i believe so it smokes like crazy..i replaced the valve cover gaskets and plug seals cause that is where i was told it was leaking..which it was but aparently the other is leaking as well...anyone know what dealer or most other shops charge for this fix?

I charge $750 parts included for a front 60k, includes:

Crank sensor
Cam sensor]
Timing belt
Water pump
Cam seals (3)
Front crank seal
Antifreeze (2 gallons)
Accessory belts (if needed)

^^^is correct.

When it is all over the P/S pump like that it is most likely the rear cam seal, and maybe the valve cover gaskets contributing.

Obviously in order to do that you have to tear into it anyway. Might as well do the front main too.

ok i guess thats not bad.....ill keep that in mind...i have mine for sale right now though...im looking at buying a 98 sho right now....im distressed about getting rid of it but i cant afford to keep messing with this car...on top of my oil leek i have no 4th gear..maybe oil has ruined a sensor?...but anyways the problem is deffitly the camshaft seals..and possibly the front main to...my power steering fluid has never droped since ive had the car..at one point that was my conclusion though.
