hey guys,
i got this wierd oil leak coming from the lower timing belt side...the reason why its wierd is because its doesnt leak oil at idle,only leaks a lil when i rev it hard, and leaks a lot when i drive it..i mean a lot.. i lost 2 quarts of oil in a hour drive!!
its a mess, i dried up all the oil, start it up hoping to find the oil leak..nothing..let it sit for 15 mins just running, not one drop..but when i rev it hard upper 4-6K rpm, i see drops of oil under my alternator no oil trail..more like the oil was squirted up on it???it seems to be coming from the bracket that holds up the alt, esp around the bottom bolt.
any idea what this could be??
i also checked my valvecover gasket and camshaft seals both are leak free.
is this a sign that my oil pump is going bye bye??
i plan on removing the bottom timing belt cover tomm.(gonna be fun).i just want a heads up on what to look for..
thanks in advance for your time and your input..=)
