OH NO! Whats wrong with this Dam Motor D:
Ok, So I was looking at the motor, and (not sure of the part name, even tho I know its something simple, just cant think of it) there is a piece of a rubber gasket (same stuff as a valve cover gasket is) was sticking out and looked like oil was dripping from there. Its the one where if your looking at the front of the motor its on the left side belw the two cams. Then I went to go look at my motor and the SAME gasket WAS sticking out and leaking D:. Its right above the alternator on the right side. Im thinking it happend on my motor becujase of the pressure build up. Is it possible this motor was have ring and compression problems too and had the pressure build up as me!!!!!!!??????

oil in plugs is only the vc gasket... There is nothing else that can cause that...
At the front of the engine usually is the crank seal. (or the oil return of the turbo)
The oil could be dripping out and swung up by the timingbeld.
Or the VC gasket is so worn, it just drips down into the timingbeld area
Start by replacing the oem vc gasket and take a look at the timinbeld.
Rubber and oil dont mix.
oil eats the rubber away..
so maybe a timingbeld change with crankseal and a new vc gasket..

that doesnt matter for **** in an outhouse get and properly install a new VC gasket, and forget about that. It just trys to seal your TB off from the elements better FWIW i took all mine out cause i didn't wanna hassle with new ones and the motor knows no difference. Ok now breathe 1,

I just had that area all apart...there's nothing there....unless the head gasket failed there, no oil should be passing around that area....
all those plastic panels have rubber "seals" around them...very easy to have them hanging with installed.

Well when my crankshaft seal was leaking it did throw alot of oil around, but not up and to the side....I'd say if its not the valve cover gasket then its gotta be a cam seal. Why not just start pulling things apart to find out? Should be able to stop it once the timing covers are off no?
