oil leak

[midwestmk2]

Its not the head gasket..They are pretty notorious for this problem..If you remove the timing belt cover and set the cams to top dead center(line up marks on gears with notches in the top of the back plate)and then loosen the cam gears and the tensioner..Remove the belt from the cam gears and then the gears..There will be 3 bolts and 2 nuts to remove and the back of the timing plate comes off..There is a gasket just like the pic below..You cant just buy that gasket buy itself you have to get the whole set(not worth it)..So just get yourself a cereal box and cut yourself a new one...Coat it with the copper gasket spray and reinstall every thing...The cam gears get retorqued to 51ftlbs and the idler pully gets torqued to 39ftlbs ..All other bolts should not exceed 18ftlbs..If this does not fix the problem then replace the upper and lower cam tower gaskets..
