oil on Fan belt

[Slim]

im have an oil leak,, but not sure where its coming from. There is oil on the sump but also on the fan belt and the pulleys.

I have recently unbolted the earth bolt on the driver side and put it back. Could it be that? There is also alot of oil behind the bottom pulley... thing is there is quite a bit of oil all over that side (on timing chain cover)

but could it be coming from any of them 2 locations described?

The oil will most likely be leaking from the timing chain cover or sump. The earth strap bolt shouldnt have caused any problems so probably coincidence.

Best off degreasing the lot to pinpoint where its coming from.

cool thanks :)

chances are its the timing cover, or the seal that is in it. As said degrease it all down and go from there, might be worth whipping the bottom pulley off to get a better look.

Not breathing heavy is it? and your breater pot is not connected on the pipe from below, bit of a mess everywhere in that case.
