Right went for a blast earlier today with a mate, noticed smoke inside the cabin! so we pulled over, and on the right hand side (timing belt side) of engine was leaking oil, wasnt coming from the rocker cover gasket, also noticed there was Fozzie Bear loads of oil on that side of the bonnet dripping down all over the lower engine mount, put a bit of oil in and drove back home (less than a mile) slowly, let the car cool down and checked oil, there was still oil in, just above the bottom mark, where as before i left there was oil just before the top mark, so quite a bit of oil has come out of some where,
rang up local mechanic and he saying it is the cam seal, but i have timing belt cover and that part of teh rocker cover on, so i dont understand how it would get on the bonnet, and why the cam gears and timing belt are dry, also me and a friend changed the oil pump (used the integra type r manual for a guide) and we did it by the book, it could be urinating out of there..any suggestions. really baffling us now.
thanks
