i have a 95 3.4 manual and i was looking to replace my crankshaft position sensor (which im guessing is behind the big pully with the 4 bolts) when i discovered this leak

before i go into taking everything apart to find out that i dont have the tools to fix the problem i wanted to know if it would be as simple as tightening a bold or replacing the gasket?

sorry about this noob Q but im just getting frustrated with this car

 

well it could be coming from the intake manifold or one or more of the front cover seals, which include the front crank seal. are u losing alot of oil?

 

no its not a lot.

 

i kind of go by if i leave a oil stain on the floor in the garage and if so is it a drip or two or a puddle. if it gets to anoy me i do something. and it usually is not minor. lol. last time i changed the opti, water pump, oil pan gaskets, oil pump, timing chain and front seals. lol. oh yah did the plug wires while all the stuff was outa the way and the motor was lifted up.

 

i gotta say its annoying me. its covered everything below it and i dont like that
1 i cant really clean it
2 that i cant see it
3 im just so mad

 

also can anyone help me find the crankshaft position sensor?
is it behind this pully?

 

im showing a camshaft position sensor on the block on the driver side just in front of the intake manifold. thats from a 93 parts book. cant find a crank sensor.

 

i found this but im feeling like the whole front of the engine is gone in this image

 

ok cool its shown to be on the other side of the crank pully. can u see it back there on the topside?

 

heck i just looked at the other pictures a little closer and they are of the power steering pump arent they. i would adjust my post to say its most likely the front seal on the power steering pump and u need to start looking for one. sorry bout that.
