2000 Mitsubishi Galant, EA3A 2.4l motor. Oil leal

If you can't find any information you may have to do it from scratch. Find tdc on crankshaft, find point where opposite cylinder to number 1 (cylinder 4 on inline 4 engine) is 'rocking' ( exhaust closing, inlet opening) at this point you are close, and should be able to find the correct mark. (probably need valve cover off to see cam and valves moving as you carefully turn camshaft) some engines have a balance shaft driven behind the oil pump. If so there will be marks to line up there too. Can be tricky, eg mitsubishi motor, just lining up oil pump mark may not be right, it's not a direct drive to balance shaft. A pin has to be able to insert into a bolt hole on the side of the block, so maybe have to turn oil pump gear up to 3 times to get right position. Sorry not familiar with your motor.

did you had the oil seals for the cams and crank shaft replaced?
they will leak after being disturbed by the belt change. clean the area good and see if is coming fron that area ok.more likely you will need to replace those seals my friend.

Cleaning your throttle body is irrelevent to the oil leak behind the timing cover. There are 5 seals that can leak behind the 2000 accord timing cover, the oil pump, crank seal, cam seal, and the 2 balancer seals. Most of the time its the front balancer seal that has popped out and will need to be replace and have and retaining kit install. Its actually very common on that engine. I highly recommend taking it to a professional to get repaired because timing the 2 balancer gears with the cam and crank is very tricky even for the mechanically inclined. Since the timing belt and the balancer belt has to come off and is probably soaked in oil, I recommend replacing those as well.

It has to be an oil pressure sending unit. There are two of them on that SUV but they are in different places depending on your engine cord. If you go to Advance Auto parts or O'Riley, they will tell you exactly where to look.

That area is where the oil filter is and the oil pressure sending unit. Inspect the Oil filter to make sure that it's not leaking through a bad oil O ring seal, it's common for oil to leak from there is the filter has been put on to tight or to loose. If your oil pressure sending unit also have gone bad , it will leak from there. Also most important is to check your oil level, low on oil will cost you a new engine, note also to make sure that oil is not leaking from your oil drain plug at the bottom of your oil pan.

Best thing to do id to check your oil level and addif it's low and bring it back to the place your had your oil changed and let them know that your losing oil from the bottom of your engine. "oil filter area"

They will most of the time repalce the filter free of charger or just charge you for a new filter, but most likely that if it's a faulty filter. They will not charge you for a new filter.

Good luck and thank you for using Fixya.

please note that no warranty covers expendables that being filters, belts, brakes , fluids etc when you do timing belt you need to do front engine seals cam and crankshaft seals balancer shaft and oil pump seals. sometimes the tensioners timing belt and balancer shaft tensioners are requested however in most dealerships unless your have been extended bumper to bumper warranty it only covers: power train (major engine parts) not including clutch cover , electricals, suspension and battery so if you do have bumper then they should cover it. but thats in the Caribbean market

THe timing of the oil pump is irrelevent as no matter where it is timed as long as it is pumping oil. you must have a leak from a cam or crank seal or maybe the oil pressure sender. hope this helps. regards Ben.

don't use 20w50 that is too heavy an oil for that motor. the most i would use is like a 10w40 and that is a last resort. your valves need adjusting or the hydraulic lash adjusters may be gunked up. there is a chemical called auto-rx (search web) that could help you out. just follow the directions for it. the only other oil seals i can think of are oil pan gasket, oil filter gasket, rear main seal, valve cover gasket.

there ia a seal/oring on the dist shaft it should not leak that bad look for a sensor near by wash with brake cleaner let idle and wash let me know ok tell fix ya bout me

Yep solved the problem, thanks
