Oil leaking out of front timing cover [solved]
Just put the engine back in, it looked to me like the front timing cover was a dry place. I have oil leaking out from behind the top of the cover, I can't get that top piece off without pulling the top of the engine again but that front area where the timing belt is, that's not supposed to have oil in it right?
