Oil Leak Location Help

Snake8 · 04-03-2023, 07:10 PM

Hey guys,

Looking for a little help diagnosing where this leak is coming from. Can anyone identify this area please?

This is from coming from behind the alternator, behind the red positive cable.

I don’t see any leaks from above, and it appears to only be in this area.

after a little more research, it looks like this could be a vacuum pump seal problem. i think there are rebuild kits that some have said work since you can’t buy the gaskets separately
