My car is now leaking worse then before. Seems like one problem occur after another is fixed. The leak seems to be coming from the oil pump and/or the oil sending unit(it's coming from all of where the oil filter is). I have a few pictures here. Let me know if I need a new oil pump/oil sending unit or maybe I just need some gaskets. And let me know what can I do to stop the leak.. :confused:

look at ur timing belt and see if its oily. if so theres a good chance ur cam seals are el' junk. my leaked like a bi*** and i replaced every seal i could think of. turned out to be the cam seals.
 
With these cars, you're actually lucky if the problems occur one after the other as opposed to at the same time.
What you need to do is clean everything up real well & observe where the leak originates from after running the car. Probably a bolt is loose or worn gasket, maybe even on the filter. There is a rubber O-ring where the pressure sending unit screws in--btw, I'm sure you know your sending unit wire is not connected. You want to check if the oil is coming from under the timing cover, which is where your oil pump & a number of other oil seals live.
Check to ensure that what you are seeing is not dirty PS fluid leaking from where the PS hose connects to the top of PS pump-pretty common.
While you are in the area, be sure to check the condition of the small rubber coolant hoses that attach to your oil cooler, the part that your oil filter screws into.
 
Im either burning oil, or leaking, i cant find any oil under the car ever. Im talking 200 = 1quart of oil, this is 500 miles after the car has sat for 3 years any ideas? Wheres the cam seals, on the t belt side?
 
I cleaned it and observed and the oil seems to be coming from the oil pressure switch, the oil pressure switch, and seems to be coming from the oil filter braket gasket. Seems like the timing belts are clean of oil, except that it has like build ups and shit like that. Not too bad to be worried about. I'll cleck on the cam seal to see if it's it. I also have oil dripping from behind the axels and sometimes on the axels after I stopped driving. Maybe the wind just blew it back??

Well, I take back what I said about one shit occurs after another. Lolz. I blew my tire today on the free-way and was strainded for like an hour and a half and after that I got lost for another 40 minutes. And there are more with my car!! I'll post them when I'm done with the leak. Look for it soon. :D
