    cant tell where this leak is coming from

    So after about 2 months of being leak free i discovered this today:
    Its located directly beneath where the water pump meets the block, keep in mind water pump was recently changed


    these are from ground up:
    The water pump gasket is dry, but i have drips around the oil pan gasket


    seems to be coming from area around this pulley in front of oil pan


    notice drips on oil pan gasket area


    any ideas?

        is the timing cover a pain to work on?

            damn i was afraid you'd say something like that, guess its going to the shop, and i dont have time to take it in for about another week and a half...in the meantime I should be ok as long as i drive only to work and keep an eye on my coolant correct?

              it's won't be too bad, since you obviously got the WP off already without breaking the bolts! That's the biggest PITA when doing WP/timing cover.
