Oil Pan Leak

Was workin on my cooling system when i noticed oil everywhere on my pan/tranny. found out there’s a lot of oil coming from this pulley thing. Anyone know what this could be? / if it could be easy to DIY?

Re: Oil Pan Leak

Front crank seal or oil pan gasket. Oil pan gasket is relatively easy. Crank seal is a little more difficult because you have to remove the crank pulley

Re: Oil Pan Leak

I agree, it's probably the oil pan gasket or crank seal.

I used to have oil leakage from that same spot. I ended up replacing the oil pump-to-block o-ring (along with the crank seal and RTV oil pan gasket). Could this be the o-ring leak?
