oil leak found, i think

[SIXBANGR]

bad oil leak from below the oil pump. Tried every thing , could not find it. The bolt that holds the intercooler bracket is leaking. It was tight but appears to be leaking out around the threads.

Sounds like you may need to pull the front cover and redo the gasket

I was thinking the same thing. I have never seen one leak there. The timing chain was done about 2 month's befor i bought the car.

Heres your chance to port the front cover and setup the oil pump if it needs it

That bolt is a blind hole. Most likely a gasket or hairline crack in the cover..ask me how I know. Always use thread sealer on the other cover bolts as they going into the crankcase and coolant.
