[V8] major oil leak

[Korn, Bob]

Clean, drive, inspect.  This will show you.  Common areas: Distributors
seals, Valve covers, seals on front of motor and main rear seal.  Could
also be some pentosin mixed in for good measure.  Steering rack and
associated hoses, and reservoir are typical cause.
With the cover on you never know where the oil is coming from due to the
strange air currents created.

Subject: [V8] major oil leak

Hi
I'm preparing to change the timing belt but after removing the
panel(under the car) I found that everything is soaked in oil.
The location is towards the back of the engine ,some is on the underside
of a Y piece and some on the exhaust.
Any advice ?
Could it be some of the camseals ?
Hope it's not the rear main.
thanks
John
