I have an oil leak on my 7mgte. Iv replace all O rings and lines even copper gaskets on that side of the block. I know that the cps is leaking internally a small amount but I have to wait till my new cps (remaned) gets here. The only thing I can thing of is the front cover now. I did my hg about 2 months ago and it looked ok. I did not remove it. Is there anyway to reseal it with out removing the head? Or anyway to really see for sure that it is leaking.

Get the engine steam cleaned and then see where its coming out of.

Head has to come off to remove the rear timing cover. Front cover is plastic/metal and doesnt hold in any liquids. Just the belt.

I cleaned it all up during my last round of repairs. its coming from the front right just below the cps area. It wont leak fresh cold start or even idle warm. Its only after I drive it for about 4 miles or so beating it or not. really starting to make me mad.
