I am in the midst of getting to the source of an oil leak I am experience down the inside the timing cover, all the way to the oil pan.
A shop recently did a timing belt service and I thought it might be a crank seal. They inspected the work and crank seal was dry. They discovered oil around cam seals and on the inside of the cover that is around the cam phasor. The owner and master tech said that it could be the seals themselves as well as an o-ring inside the phaser. Has anyone encountered that leak from the o-ring?
Also do the pictures look consistent with a cam seal leak? Would it be possible for oil to end up in these locations from another source like oil pump o-ring or a tensioner pulley bolt threads into the oil pump?
