Hello All,

I am in need of some help. I have had my Leganza for just over a year, and it has had an oil leak the whole time. I have replaced the timing belt and cerp. belt about 5k miles ago. I took a look around and really couldnt find the reason for the leak. Plus i have replaced the oil pan gasket and the valve cover gasket as well. I thought it was the valve cover at first, but I just recently noticed that the oil is dripping way to much to be from a small leak in the valve cover, plus i have sealed the cover nice and tight. It a constant drip right under the main crank pulley. I cant seem to figure it out. Does anyone know what it might be? I have to fix this problem before I burn the little guy up.

Could be one of three things,the crankshaft front seal or the oil pump housing gasket or the oil pressure switch

Check the camshaft seals aren't leaking either (bearing caps loose). As already mentioned, there's not many sources of oil leaks at that end of the engine. Also, is it definitely engine oil and not power steering fluid?
