I am working on car listed above with a 2.0 liter engine. Has a major oil leak. From my first view it looked like the oil was coming from the oil pan. After finishing numerous other repairs on it, I took it for a drive pulled it back into the garage and the thing was pouring out oil. After cleaning it up I filled it back up with oil and started it, I also checked torque on the pan bolts, I then started it, no leak, then I revved it up to about 2,000 rpm's now the oil started pouring out, leak is coming from somewhere around the front of the engine. Thinking possibly crank seal or oil pump. You would think if it was the crank seal it would leak all the time, but with the oil pump would possibly leak when pressure builds up more. Now am I on the right track here and what is the easiest way to find this mystery leak? Been working on equipment for sixteen years and usually the more it leaks the easier it is to find but this one goes in the books for the worst.
