Oil leak at rt side of the car
Hey guys,
I noticed a strange leak what looks like oil under the right front near the idler arm. From under the car it looks like maybe there is oil splatter around the manifold. The fluid by the time it drips from the idler is kind of a rusty color, looks like there may be water in it (I live in the desert, hasn't seen water in a month) I pulled the air cover and it looks like I have a pretty significant leak at or around the valve cover. All the plug wires on the right side and the coil packs are coated in oil. I'm just wondering where the rust color is coming from... makes me concerned it's a head gasket, though I am not low on oil or coolant (yet anyhow) The motor mount on the right side of the motor isn't filled with fluid is it?
