Winesalot Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Left work today for my 45 minute commute home. Cruised along with no issues. Pulled in to my driveway to quite a bit of smoke and a massive amount of oil on the drivers side from the front left side of the motor to the rear bumper. I am hoping it's a passenger side cam seal that blew out but I won't be able to look at it until I am done with a couple more 12 hour night shifts. This is going to be a party.

Brighton96 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 That side of the motor also has an adapter that houses the cam position sensor and I think it's only real purpose is to make the motor square so that the cam pulleys line up. But that adapter has the cam seal on the pulley end and only a small o-ring on the motor end, it'd be pretty easy to get at if that's the case.

I'm working 12 hour night shifts with an hour commute at both ends so nothing will get looked at for a couple more days. Thanks for the tip.

doublechaz Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Buy it by the case... That's where I'm at with ATF on one of my project cars. But I'm lucky not to need to drive it while it gushes. Good luck finding the leak and fixing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winesalot Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 I looked at it quickly before leaving for work and its fairly clear that the oil is coming from the timing cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setnev Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I looked at it quickly before leaving for work and its fairly clear that the oil is coming from the timing cover. Sounds definitely like a cam seal or crank seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
