Monday, February 16, 2009 11:33 AM
Got my water pump done a week ago, They messed up the timing (thanks j-body for the diagnosis!), they fixed that. now its pissin oil from the area where the water pump is. Comin from down low on the passenger side of the motor where the timing chain and stuff is?
Just seein if anyone has any ideas? or maybe had a similar problem.

Thanks again for the all the help.

Chi,

It sounds like you need to replace the timing cover gasket. If they reused the old gasket, that could cause the leak.
