Is there an easy way to remove the lower timing belt cover? Think I have an oil leak in that area but doesn't look easy to slide off with the engine in and can't find all the 10mm bolts to loosen it. Thanks.

 

You have to remove the crank pulley and some other accessory pulleys. Just find a DIY on timing belt replacement for a more indepth directions. No offense, but if you having difficulty removing a cover then you might be in over your head...

 

Thanks, again I'm trying to find the source of an oil leak without yanking all that out. I guess not.

 

If its alot like dripping its your oil pump most likely if its light then your oil pan seal is leaking which is common. Gets all over the oil cooler lines.

Easy job

 

Remove upper timing cover (4 bolts)
Remove accessory belt and tensioner
remove crank pulley
remove water pump pulley
support motor under oil pan with jack (put 2x4 in between)
remove ps engine mount
lower engine to remove idler pulley (can't remove bolt until it clears frame)
remove lower timing cover bolts and extract cover

It should take no more than 1 hr to remove. Post what you find in terms of leak source

 

Think i've got the same issue.
