My 03' sunfire has a nasty leak on the right side. It's freakin tight up in there so I'm wondering before I start tearing it apart what kinds of leaks come on that side? It's Got oil hitting the belt and spraying residue up onto the hood and it's splashing back all over the axle and everything. Am I most likely looking at a crank seal? or is there another seal on that side I should look at?

There is a small plate on that side..it is for getting to the water pump..It may be leaking from there..there are 4 bolts..check them...if not could be timing chain cover..but yet to see one of those leak...If it was rear main seal it would be on the drivers side you would see oil..all over the ground..hope this helps.

Thanks, I pulled the wheel today it looks to be a crank pulley seal. That seems to be the center of the mess and when I run the car and the shutit off a little dribble of oil comes from that pulley a few seconds after. Hoping this wont be a huge hassle to change.

well thats to bad...Hope you are able to get it fixed soon and simple..
