I noticed my girl started leaking a massive amount of oil. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
Leaking oil
- Thread starter 98Nate
- Start date
Being it looks clearish like PS fluid possibly Id start there or as the Goat indicated is it coolant? hard to tell colors from the pics.
Definitely oil, I checked my dipstick and it’s damn near gone. I opened my hood and I have oil spayed on the top of that too.
Looks like it could be the Harmonic balancer oil seal in the timing cover. Pretty simple to replace, you will need a puller for the balancer and they are usually rentable and a seal puller and new seal. They also offer a balancer repair sleeve to slide over the balancer shaft if the old seal cut grooves.
More than likely you need a new crank pulley too...check for cracks in the rubber.
Good time to consider a timing chain and a water pump and fan clutch.
