2G Oil leak somewhere!

[SEVEN2NiNE]

So my 1997 GST has what seems to be a pretty bad oil leak somewhere I can't find it. It looks as if the oil turbo feed line is shot but I'm not sure. It could also be something minor and since oil was on the timing belt it slinged it everywhere. I have searched on the forums for my question but have not found the correct response. If you can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Pull the timing cover and take a look at the oil pump.

Ok, does that turbo oil line look like its bent to you? Or is it supposed to be angled?

If it wasn't angled, it would go out the front of the car, and spray oil everywhere.
Spray the area clean with brake cleaner, then run the car, and watch for the leak.

Degrease first, much easier to see then. Looks like it is running down from cam seals, valve cover gasket or front timing cover.

Thanks for your input guys, it's really appreciated. I'm going to take it to the shop today and see what yet say and go from there.

You could just clean all off like everyone suggested. Pull all those timing covers off and watch it.
