I have wonderful auto administered undercoating that loves to drip from the engine, and down onto the main crossmember below the fan. There is so much built up, that i expect this has been going on for a while. I've replaced the valve cover gaskets, and can now verify they are not the source. The oil doesnt seem biased to one side or another. The whole front of the engine is wet from mid point down.
Is it possible to spring a leak at the intake to head surface? Is it more likely a leak behind the timing gear, or possibly pulleys? What are the more common leaks from the front of a 403?
For what it is worth, my coolant and oil are clean. Not burning any noticeable amounts.
Thanks
