Hello friends, what started off as a simple TB/WP service appears to have gotten more complicated as I’ve discovered an excessive amount of oil around the oil pump area. Adding a few pictures for opinions before I move forward. The last pic shows the crank seal which appears dry. Truck is a 99 LX with 270k miles. Thanks for any opinions/advice!
P.S. I should add that the timing belt and water pump didn't appear to be very old despite the sticker saying it was last done at 107k and 15 years ago. So perhaps this is residue from a previous leak that has been resolved. Also, I noticed one of the TB idler bolts had fresh oil on it when it was removed (can't remember which side).
