I have a leak in the front of the engine it's right by the slobber tube but has gone from sitting a week and leaving one drop no bigger than a penny to leaving that overnight.
It appears to increase while running the engine, sometimes... pictures explain more it's got enough oil everywhere that I will have to clean it up somehow to even figure out what is leaking...
When I replaced the body I cleaned as much as I could around the slobber tube but 340,00ish miles causes quite a caked on mess that needs to be cleaned.
Questions are what would be leaking in there front crank seal or cam seal? If I have to replace either how hard is it I'm extremely busy so if it's fairly intensive I may have a shop do it or... Also recommendations for cleaning the gunk off the front of the engine. I have been using gunk degreaser and a scrub brush but that still gums up![imageproxy.php?img=&key=4d11e5b7ded08803]()
The larger puddle of oil is from sitting two days then I left it running/warming up for a half hour, I haven't had another puddle of that size yet. Small drops are overnight and a ten minute warm up
