ok, last night i finally got finish with my car and i went for a test drive around the hood and after a few hard pulls i caused something to give out and now i have a oil leak that i cant blame on one specific part yet, and that is what i need your help with.
the cars been out because i was removing the silent shafts. and after every thing was done i was still having oil leak issues with the b belt tensioner hole, but now thats squared away after using the front silent shaft sprocket bolt to plug the hole using RTV. now the leak i need help with is coming around the idle pulley area. like right above were the big oil pump cover sits to the block. when the car is on it leaks at a really high rate and its also misting out oil from around there. so basically i need to know if anybody has ever had the bearing go out on the idle pulley or the tensioner pulley? and if so how bad dose it leak? or what would you suggest i check tomorrow. oh yeah, i know its not the cam seals.
