Mckinney,

I did my gates racing belt and balance shaft belt and re did my oil pan.
I still had a severe oil leak after switching to synthetic 5w30.
The oil leak would be severe after the car was running.
Anyways it all turned out to be the cam seal, it was hard to spot but it would trickle down onto the waterpump and then down the front case and leak out the lower cover
For the life of me I can't get the cam gear bolt off. I'm borrowing an electric impact tomorrow. Also can't get the oil pump sprocket to come off at all. Am I ok to just crank on the oil pump sprocket with a ratchet and brake bar on the crank?
I've put the old timing belt back on to take the extra stress
The new gates belt, you'll notice the oil on the water pump, the tensioner arm for the timing belt was also covered in oil
Heres how she sits now with the old timing belt back on her, I want to replace the oil pump seal to be safe, that was the only other place where I saw some oil sludge build up when I first did the belt
