Thanks, I will get a video tonight. Its holding oil still and I just started it right up on Sunday, idles fine. But the belts are squeaking really badly. And I'm 90%sure the squeaking is from the timing belt. I'm trying to stay optimistic lol I REALLY do not want to replace the engine in this. It also needs struts too and the front end needs work so yeah don't want to do it Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

The loss of power was kind of intermittent I would say.... I'm hoping I don't need to get a new motor. If so, can I get a 'better one' and drop it in? Or what Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

So you don't think this is the timing belt? Like a cam(s) pulley? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

If the oil wasn't out of it it definitely is now though Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

No I don't think so, I've been filling it up. At least I hope not, that would suck. I was thinking the timing belt was going out Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

So, full disclosure, you guys are my first stop on this investigation. I was driving home, and ( also, the cars leaking from every seal possible) the front end starting squealing really bad, and then like a massive loss of power. It would cut out sometimes while driving and now is just cut out. And when I got home, the smoke started barreling out of the rear of the engine. It's been smoking for a while, and leaking oil from the rear, really bad. Is that part the oil separator plate? And do you guys think my timing belt finally took a shit?
