Hey all,
The Cruze has sprung another oil leak. It appears to be leaking a few inches below the valve cover gasket where the timing cover mates with the engine. I have brake cleaned everything so these photos are without oil being blown all over by the wind. The leak is collecting behind the a/c compressor and then running down the front side of the oil pan.
With this being such a labor intensive repair I wanted to pick the brains of those who may have ran into this issue before. I do know the cam actuator gaskets are prone to leaking, but it does not appear to be coming from them, unless they leak and run through a path not visible.
The oil cooler gaskets have been repaired and it is not coming from it.
I also want to add that it leaks much worse when engine is cold.
Any advice?
