So I pulled up to work yesterday, doing the cool down thing. The oil light flickered then went out, I let it idle for a bit more watching closely and it didnt' come back on... Didn't think anything of it really... Came back out and there was a HUGE oil puddle, proably 2-3 qts worth. So I got the little jack out put more oil in and started it. It's leaking on the pulley end of the motor. I pulled the driver front wheel, and that plastic panel that hides the crank pulley. fired it off again. It looks like the oil is coming from behind the pulley, a little to the left (front) and below the pulley, but above the cylindrical portion of the oil filter housing... It was dropping probably 3-4 large drops per second. How deep is the front main seal? Is the oil filter housing part of the oil pump?
I haven't been into the front end of these yet to know how the different timing panels and what not lie... and where an oil leak of that magnitude could originate...
