If you just replaced a valve cover gasket and PCV valve on a 1996 SL2 why is oil still leaking from the back edge closest to the timing chain?
I'm not a mechanic, but have read that the head gaskets sometimes crack and leak oil into the coolant. Maybe a cracked head gasket could leak oil onto the timing chain.
I'm adding a bit here to the answer and I am a mechanic. Generally there is a seal on the cam and if that is leaking you need to replace it. As for the cover, did you put silicon sealer on the curved piece of the gasket, especially the corners (where it goes up over the cam) and also the other end if it has the same curve. Do this on both sides of the gasket at this point. Don't use too much but you need an even film on both sides of the curved bit and more at the corners. These gaskets are famous for leaking at this point and this is how I stop it. If you didn't, just take the cover off, clean up the gasket and cover so no oil and then reinstall.
If it is cam seal you will need to take off the front cam pulley and the chain, loosen the cam very carefully a little at a time on the bolts, and replace the seal. Not a big job either and any good manual will tell you how.

Will a leaking water pump in 1993 sable drip on the timing belt?
Not to my knowledge...but there is a gasket around the timing cover that will leak antifreez if it goes bad. It is a pain to replace, but it can be done. If you've replaced the water pump and it's still leaking (as was my case), then go one step further and replace the gasket around the timing cover. ***caution*** use a repair manual before attempting this!!! There are ***a lot *** of bolts to undo and some require sealant on them when they are replaced. The manual will tell you which ones to put sealant on. steve phx az
Just rebuilt has water in the oil?
Possible cause is a leaking head gasket or timing chain gasket if the water pump mounts to the timing chain like on a ford 302 cid You probably are leaking into the crankcase through the headgasket. There is a slight possibility that the block is cracked.

Why are you leaking antifreeze from a timing belt gasket in a 1997 Buick skylark?
Leaking antifreeze from a timing belt gasket in a 1997 Buick Skylark could be due to a worn or damaged gasket that has failed to maintain a proper seal. Over time, heat and exposure to coolant can degrade the gasket material, leading to leaks. Additionally, if the timing belt is improperly installed or if there is excessive pressure in the cooling system, it can exacerbate the leak. It's important to address this issue promptly to prevent engine overheating and potential damage.
