After re-building heads issues

[daerdevil_1987]

Okay after i finished re-building the heads, i took the car for a spine for the first time, there was nothing wrong worked like a champ then i parked it and it was leaking , i traced the leakage and it's coming from the timing cover right under the crankshaft pulley bolt, i checked the timing belt it self and it was dry. Any ideas where it's leaking from ? could it be the crankshaft seal or something else ?

Crank or cam seals, probably. Under the pulley is where any leak on that side will run out.

thanks for the fast respond.

i'll go and check the cams seals , since we replaced that and easy to see.

no leaks from the cams so the next step is taking the timing cover and look at the cam seals.
my question is , i didn't touch the CS seal and it wasn't leaking be4 i re-build it so how come it start to leak from there all of the sudden ? could be when the serpentine belt snapped damages the seals too ?

what was involved in the rebuild? it's possible that the cam shaft seals weren't seated correctly upon re-installation of the cam caps.

[daerdevil_1987]

From the look of the oil leakage it's more likely coming from the crankshaft area, if it was from the cams it wouldn't leak that much. and i looked at the front cams and it was dry , tomorrow i'll open the other cover and see the back head cams if it's dry too then time to take the belts out AGAIN.
