Massive oil leak

Hey everyone I’m new to owning a 2006 Tocama. My a/c compressor has crapped the bed and shredded the fan belt so I pulled the fuse and put a new belt on. Now I’ve got a massive oil leak that is dripping on the fan belt and can’t figure out where it’s coming from. Looking for suggestions on where to look.

 

Check the front crank seal, if the belt shredded it may have wrapped around the crank and damaged the seal.

 

Oil leaks only go down. So start looking high and work your way down

 

I tell customers it’s called gravity. Lol.

Op, provide pictures to help us help you.

 

Check the front crankshaft seal

 

I used to tell my Mechanics to go where the weather is the roughest and start searching

 

I think what some here fail to understand, is that OP may actually have a valid question as to where it is actually coming form.
When you wipe out the front crank seal, it slings oil EVERYWHERE. It can be described just as the OP described it. - Massive.
And asking where to start looking, is a "good" question. Unless you've had the experience, it can be a bit hard to know where to start looking.
As there is oil quite literally everywhere. It literally slings it UP too. So starting "UP" and working down isn't always "how it works".

 

If you have the tow package, check the two hoses that lead to bottom of the oil filter. I don't know where the oil pressure sender is located, but that can also be a source of leakage.

 

Also might be a good idea to wash the entire engine compartment while the engine is cold. Then look for the oil leak because the fan can blow a oil leak around and make it hard to find.

 

First thank you for responding guys!!
There was so much oil everywhere that it made finding the leak hard. But in the end it was the crank seal.

 

Those hose’s carry coolant,not oil.
