Front Side OIL LEAK! Good size one!

[Spookcorleone]

Ok well, last night I noticed a oil leak under my car.. and lately my oil pressure seems 'lower' then normal... so today I take a peak, and there is oil all over the underside of the engine. (Not the head gasket.) Most the oil seems to be on the front of the car / oil pan front side - ALOT seeming to be around the oil sending unit. I haven't even looked into this but could that be leaking?

Pretty sure its not the oil pan - I'll be going on there with brake-cleaner and rag's to get a better look.

130K on the motor - whata ya think it could be? (again, I KNOW its not the head-gasket.)

Take shots?

Oh yeah - alot of oil is even on the alternator ( only the bottom side )

Be Careful! The reason the bottom of the alternator is getting oily is because right behind/below the alternator there is a small "breather" hole in the timing cover/oil cover that will spit out oil if you have a leak inside of the timing cover. Reason you're leaking behind the timing cover? Most likely the crankshaft, balancer, or oil pump seal. If you're leaking oil inside the timing cover,this could cause the timing belt to become saturated with oil, causing it to skip a tooth and/or snap which means big problems.....

Hope this helps..
