Oil still leaking...

RE: Oil still leaking...
I'm off tomorrow and I plan to hit this all day long. I've picked up the two cam shaft oil seals just in case that is the problem. The oil is coming out from above and behind the timing belt back cover. I think that Jr Mechanic is right. Anyway, I'll take a look at the crank sensor when I have everything apart. I'll let everyone know what I find after I'm finished.

RE: Oil still leaking...
Sweet Success!!
This is a very strange engine. The forward cam shaft oil seal was completely out of its socket. The rear cam shaft oil seal was fine. The oil was running out of the open socket and down the front of the engine. It then leaked out by the oil pump giving me the impression that the oil pump was leaking. I replaced both and replaced the water pump while I had everything apart. I have never seen an oil seal pop out like that before. There are no provisions to keep the oil seal in place so I hope that this one stays in... I also inspected and cleaned the oil pressure relief valve. Hopefully I can drive this around for another 80,000 miles without any problems.
Thanks for the help JR Mechanic.
