Oil leak (not valve gasket)

Good afternoon,

The way it is being thrown around, I doubt it.

It look like the front seal behind the harmonic balancer.

To be sure, I would go to a self serve car wash and clean off the motor and then watch it over time to be sure it is coming from there.

With all that mess, how do you know it is not the valve cover?

5. Remove the crankshaft pulley retaining bolt using J 8614-01 to prevent crankshaft rotation when loosening the bolt.

I understand.

From the picture and the way it is thrown around, it looks like the front seal. I would get under the car and look behind the balancer and see if it has oil there.

Thanks for the video.

I still think the issue is at the front of the motor from something like he seal or something that turns.

At least you found it and it is fixed.

Good job.
