[Supras] oil leeeeak

[Bob]

Ditto...

My wife's Mr2 had a leaking oil pump seal (is the Supras oil pump on the
front of the crank?) and the belt failed prematurely. The leak wasn't even
enough to leave a spot on the ground.

The seal kit was less than 10 from Fel Pro.

I feel it is either the cam or main front seal that is leaking.? By pluging
that hole you are just keeping oil in the timing housing and oil on belts is
bad.? It will eat up the belt and cause cracking then break and you know
what happens when a timeing belt breaks.? When was the last time the timing
belt was changed?? If you are going to change the seals you may as well
change the timing belt as well.? With all the oil on the belt I would change
it.? Changing the? two cams oil?seals, mian oil seal and timing belt is the
same mount of work as changing the two cam oil seals and mian oil seal.?
Also using a new belt is a good peice of mind that you wont have to change
it for another 60,000 miles.

Thats the drain for the entire front cover area, and its usually the cam
seals.
