You probably need to drop the oil pan down, remove the front cover and replace the cover gasket and main seal.
No
Replace The Timing Cover Gasket
Yes, if there is internal leak.
Check to be sure it isn't the water pump.
Mine is in the timing chain cover gasket. You can find your leak by pressure testing your coolant system.
Improperly installed gasket, failed crankshaft seal, stripped bolt, warped timing chain cover, dirt or grit between the cover and the block... that's just a few ideas. I wish I could help more.
An oil leak at the timing chain means that the seals are defective and must be replaced.
Cover suspected area with talcum powder or similar substance to try to determine where leak originates Valve cover? Engine Seal? Timing chain cover? Oil filter? Oil sending unit?
yes! i have a 99 chevy mailbu v6 and it was spurting out coolant from that exact thing. cost me $400 at garage.
No, but do check at some reputable smaller garages; that seems high.
do it yourself. parts are cheap, labor is long and hard. that's why its expensive
lI have the same problem, perhaps we could get a better answer than the first one.
