White smoke/oil leak

[SHOF3AR]

Ok...I just replaced my ps pump and radiator this past weekend. Driving the car today I noticed white smoke coming up from the passenger side of the engine bay. Now mind u, I just replaced the ps pump and the top of it is already covered in what looks to b oil. Any ideas? When I took off the cam sensor( I think) it had a little oil sitting on the bottom of the well. So I came here first for help.

the ps pump has 3 places to leak - at the shaft seal, at the inlet hose (either hose not tight or fitting not sealing - it has a little o-ring) and at the pressure fitting.

cam seals also can leak right onto the rh cat, and create the same kind of smoke.

best bet is to clean everything up carefully, and then see what gets wet quickest.

Are the seals for the cam right there when u take off the sensor?

 

[rubydist]

yes, one is behind that. the other two are behind the 2 cam drive sprockets.

You wouldn't happen to have a part number or a link to the gaskets would ya?

I agree, clean everything up then look for the oil trail. Yes the rear-most seal is behind the cam sensor, then behind the part seen below. Sure signs of cam seals leaking:
