Hey guys,
I have an oil leak on the Passenger side of the engine, right near the timing cover/exhaust manifold. It looks like its coming from the water pump (impossible though), and its a steady "drip drip", even when the engine isnt running.
What other sources could this be coming from on that side of the engine?? My gut tells me that I have a head gasket going, but there is no coolant in the oil (that I can see) and the car is still dangerously fast and runs smooth. The coolant is pretty rank though... all orange and chunky =)
The car got close to the red mark on the temp gauge when the clutch fan got stuck, but never went over. A bit of coolant boiled onto the ground via the overflow bottle. COuld this have caused a weak spot in the Head gasket?? This happened about 5 weeks ago, but the oil leak is only started recently (about 2 weeks)
Any help would be appreciated. This is driving me crazy!
Thanks,
Aaron
Oh, the engine is out of a late modle cressida (88 if I remember right =) if that makes a difference.
