    Here you can see buildup above the power steering pump.

    This is of either side of the bottom of the engine. It seems the belt is flinging oil everywhere, atleast what i am very quite sure IS oil.

    This is below the radiator/consenser as it drips onto a bunch of lines.

    And this is right below the power steering pully/pump.

    Can anyone tell me where this would ever be coming from? I cant tell for the life of me here guys. Tomorrow night im gonna clean it up and drive it some more and see if i can find it better.

    Probably the timing cover leak, according to what I've read here it's somewhat common. I suppose your crankshaft seal could be leaking as well, mine certainly was.

    That would make more sense since it seems to be dripping down the front of the engine. I think the belts just been slinging it up higher while driving.

    I would say it's not a head gasket issue.

    Im thinking it may be the timing cover now as 80schild said. Now that i look at pictures on google they are looking closer and closer to the same dripping i got going on.
