See attached pix. One picture is from below the other is from side. Believe the timing cover seal is leaking. Been 40,000 miles and 10 years since rebuild. Head gasket does weep - about a quart per 6,000 miles - copper head gasket .093 thick required because of extensive shaving. It has now gone to a quart in 1,000 miles which is what it was before rebuilding diagnosed leak as timing Cover seal. Leaves a drip on ground when stopped only about 2-inch in diameter. Seems really small for usage, last time left much bigger drip.
First, does it look like timing cover seal to you?
Second, I have limited tools, no lift and am afraid I cannot get crank bolt loose or pull the crank pulley off. Can probably deal with the rest. Suggestions on nut and pully removal?
Tech session at my house anyone? LOL
