As I pulled into the driveway, I noticed a nice line of oil in the street following me in. Looked underneath and a pool of oil was starting. Started the engine again and to my amazement, a gush of oil was coming from the front of the motor. Can someone point me to a step by step on how to find this. Crank Seal, Cam Seal, ? How much of the motor do I need to tear down. Instructions would be great. I searched but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks everyone.

 

A picture would help quite a bit of the leak location. What is the highest point you can see the oil? Where is the gush coming from? Valve cover? Down low? Drivers side, Passenger side?

 

Crank seal possibly.
3vze timing belt or water pump threads would be good to search for you issue to see the work involved.

Quick finds:

It's leaking on the passenger side. Looks to be above oil pan, possibly around crank, but so much is coming out, hard for me to get a good look. I will need to degrease as much of the front of the motor as I can to get a good look. But it doesn't drip when it's sitting, just when it's running. And weird, it doesn't do it cold only warm.

 

sounds like crank seal since it only does it while running. If its up higher then its the cam shaft seals... but my bet is crank seal.

oil pan wouldnt leak/gush while running like that.

edit*
oil becomes "thinner" when warm, so it seeps past the crank seal easier.

Either way, cam shafts and crank seals are usually done together since the Tbelt would be removed anyway.
