i have oil that runs over the top of my water pump i really cant figure out what would be causeing this. the only thing that i can think of is that the drivers sdie of the head gasket has a leak. any body think they know what the problem might be. its not coming from the valve cover brand new gasket put on about 1 year ago and i took of the upper timing belt cover and it dosnt look like i can see it leaking anywhere

 

trying degreasing all around the area, and then run the car and see if you can trace where its comming from. Is there a noticable decrease of oil your loosing or is it just a small ammount. Also any white smoke or loss of coolant that would point toward a head gasket?

 

no coolent loss and oil loss is about normal i think i did degrease it about a month ago that is how i found this. there isnt any smoke coming out of it i looked at that i had a buddy rev up the car while i watched the exhuast and noting came out.

 

any oil under the car? when you let it sit for a while does it drip or leak on the ground? when i had a leak under the car i changed out my oil pan gasket and it stopped leaking. but on the water pump, i'm not sure.

 

it dose drip a little bit on the ground nothing that is really all that bad i just dont want somthing major to happen when i drive it. i take it on long trips about once a month of +300 miles in 1 day so there is still the trip back and i dont want my car to crap out on me when i am out of the area

 

try changing out your oil pan gasket, it's not hard at all. just as easy as changing out your valve cover gasket only upside down. get some adhesive to keep it in place while you put the pan back on. i think it's like 8 or 9 8 or 10 mm bolts holding it on. then degrease it again and see what happens. you should have your answer within about 20-30 miles.

 

is this gonna stop the oil leak that is on my water pump or the one thatis dripping on my driveway, beacause the oil that is dripping on my driveway i think is coming from that spot by the water pump.

 

in that case i'm not sure buddy. if the leak that is leaking onto your driveway is the same one that is leaking onto your waterpump than i'm not sure... the only thing i can think of is to degreas it again and just let it sit there and idle until you see where it's coming from

 

another spot that it could be leaking from on that side of your car is the cam seals
