Thanks in advance.
This car had been sitting at my fathers for almost 8 years.
I missed driving it as a teen so I got the urge to bring it back to life.
Heres the thing, he told me it had been sitting outside for about 2 years w/o the valve covers on. Yikes. So I cleaned the cams/gasket surfaces and all real well. Replaced the covers/hoses.
I went out of town for a week and came back. He said he had changed the oil and he had been running it a few mins a day while I was gone.
I fired it up today and all seemed well, no oil leaks. I let it run for about 15 mins or so to bring it up to normal temps then shut it down. Came back a few mins later and noticed a puddle of oil under the car. Searched for it and it seems to only come out on the TOP RIGHT(passenger) side, toward the trunk/rear by the pullys/belt just under the valve covers. It is NOT the valve covers.Seems to drip like that of a slightly leaking sink, drop every few seconds.
Gauges say its running at normal temp(right in the middle) and oil gauge seems to be decent to, maybe slightly high. One notch past 1/2. No oil or check engine lights seem to have poped.
What could be leaking there?
Doesn't seem like any seals are in that area. It's 100% definately not the valve covers, I checked every inch of them. Timing gasket or head gasket? Is there any kind of like..sensor or maybe a freeze plug of some kind in that area linked to the oil system? Also could tell that all of the old tainted oil didn't seem to have been removed when he drained it. Could tell by the coffee look.
