Oil leak(s)
 

I am having a problem with an oil leak on the exhaust side of my engine from the front, it looks like it coming from the back of the water pump.

I have replaced the seal on the front of the engine behind the plate behind the cam gears,

I do have the leaking cam seals and will be doing those soon.

could this oil be coming from the cam seals, there is quite a lot of oil loss.
Where elso could it be from??

its not from the cam box's
its not the head or block.

I want to fid out as much as I can about where it could be coming from befor I get into it as I have to remove the radiator to do this task (its in a hilux)

Cheers, Matt

yeah,the cam seals could be causing the leakage.i would clean it with a good degreaser and then keep an eye on it for a while to see if you can track down where it is exactl;y leaking so you are not wasting time and money

I have degreased it several times but cant find the exact place, I know the cam seals are leaking cause I have seen them leaking. I just need to know if there is anywhere else on the front\exahaust side of the engine that oil could come from.

Well I replaced both seals, they were brittle and came out in shattered bits. No more oil leaking which is a good thing.

Here is a clip of what the engine is in
