    Oil Leak Front of engine but near bottom

    I recently had an oil leak lead to chain tensioner failure im pretty sure. The leak is bad bad. I can see oil on parts behind serpentine on lower part of engine. All oil points backwards and low from then on. What do you guys think it is? I recently replaced oil pan and gasket as well as valve cover gaskets no leaks anymore from those.

    Probably multiple seals leaking..front crank seal, cam seals, tensioner seals, etc.
    Since you have to replace cam chain tensioner anyway now is a great time to do all the seals and timing.

    Okay thanks. I suspected that front crank seal. Going to rip the front end apart rn and check it out. To me it does look like that from some of the angles
