Inspect the air gap. Refer to Powertrain Management; Computers and Control Systems; Crankshaft Position Sensor.
Adjust the drive belt deflection/tension.
Start the engine and:

Inspect the pulleys and drive belt for runout and contact.
Inspect the ignition timing.

No.3 Engine Mount Removal Note

Suspend the engine using the SST.

Pulley Lock Bolt Removal/Installation Note

Remove the crankshaft using the SST.

Timing Belt Removal Note

Install the pulley boss and pulley lock bolt.
Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing marks.

Note:

Face the marks (I) and (E) of the camshaft pulley straight up, then align the timing marks with the horizontal surface on the cylinder head.
The pulley boss position pin on the crankshaft should be facing straight up.

Loosen the tensioner lock bolt.

Push the tensioner in the direction of the arrow and hand-tighten the lock bolt.

Caution: Forcefully twisting is the timing belt turning it inside out, or allowing oil or grease on it will damage the belt and shorten its life.

Note: Mark the timing belt rotation on the belt for proper reinstallation.

Tensioner, Tensioner Spring Installation Note
Measure the tensioner spring free length.
If not as specified, replace the tensioner spring. Free length 61.8 mm (2.43 inch)
Install the tensioner.
Install the tensioner spring with the damper rubber closing face on the right side.
Temporarily secure the tensioner with the spring fully extended.

Timing Belt Installation Note
Verify that the timing belt pulley mark and camshaft pulley marks are aligned with the timing marks as shown.

Note: Face the marks (I) and (E) of the camshaft pulley straight up, then align the timing marks with the horizontal surface on the cylinder head.
Install the timing belt in the order shown to prevent looseness.

Caution: Be sure not to apply tension other than that of the tensioner spring.

Install the pulley boss and pulley lock bolt.
Loosen the tensioner lock bolt to apply tension to timing belt.

Turn the crankshaft clockwise 1 and 5/6 times, and align the timing belt pulley mark with the tensioner set mark.
Hold the crankshaft using the SST, and remove the pulley lock bolt and the pulley boss.
Verify that the timing belt pulley mark is aligned with the tensioner set mark.

Caution: Prevent the tensioner from moving with the tensioner lock bolt as it is turned.
Tighten the tensioner lock bolt.
Install the pulley boss and the pulley lock bolt.
Turn the crankshaft 2 and 1/6 times, and face the pin on the pulley boss straight up.
Verify that the camshaft pulley marks are aligned with the timing marks as shown.

If not, repeat from Timing Belt Removal Note and reinstall the timing belt.

Note: Timing is normal if: the pulley boss position pin and the camshaft pulley marks (I) and (E) are facing straight up. The timing marks are aligned to the horizontal surface on cylinder head.
Inspect the timing belt defltion at the point indicated by applying moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbs).

If not as specified, remove the timing belt and repeat from Step 1. Timing belt deflection 6.0 - 7.5 mm (0.2 - 0.29 inch)

No.3 Engine Mount Installation Note

Install the No.3 engine mount. Remove the SST (engine support).

Cylinder Head Cover Installation Note
Verify that the grooves on the cylinder head cover are free of oil, water and other foreign material.

make sure youpaint the marks before you remove the belt so you install it correctly. If you are off the marks, you will bend valves and will require removing the head.

Replacing timing belt is more complicated than brake replacement. You have to know how to set your timing marks up perfect otherwise car will not run or not run very good. If you want I can post procedures and let you decide if you think you can handle the job, all I need is your engine size (2.0L 1.6L etc.).

You have to find out what the liquid is that is leaking before you can start looking for the faulty component. Is it coolant, oil, tranny fluid? .

Hello,

If your oil light was coming on then you should have check the oil like you did, but since it came on again you should have had the oil pressure checked. Your Oil Pump is the Most likely cause of you engine failure. With the light flickering you had low oil pressure, which could be why one cam was harder to turn than the other.

Hi Derek,

You will need to either purchase or see if you local auto parts store rents tools or a tool rental center and ask for an Oil Pressure Tester. This is the only accurate test.

I can get the diagrams will need Sub Model and Engine Size in Liters.

Here is the info...

You can press your "CTRL" key and the "+" key to zoom in for easier reading....

.

You need to locate the source and tell us what is emitting it or where it is coming from before we can help.

The mechanic should not have removed the head without proper testing.

Hi Derek,

Unfortunately I believe you are going to the dealer. I checked all my connections and only showing oil pan and drain plug.
