so my alternator is soaked with engine oil and its only the underside.
ive checked the head gasket to be ok and oil pan does not leak either. what else could possibly be in the area causing this major leak? any inputs would be great!!

 

Who changes your oil?

 

I do...

 

Could it be power steering fluid. The line runs right over the alternator

If not, clean up residue & run the motor at idle (maybe on a ramp) & use a flash light to inspect

 

Well, then you'd know if you dumped oil back there. It is easy to do.

When my Evo was new and I was in the process of performing the first oil change and pouring new oil a little too fast I got the funnel full, it toppled and the alternator got an oil bath. That caused some blue smoke that didn't come from the car. Thanks for the flashback.

 

Have you done any mechanical work to the recently beside the oil change?..... oil dip stick tube is secured to the block?

 

hmm its def oil tho...

but you mean you dumped oil from top right? its all over the bottom which makes me think that its being splashed around.

i changed the timing belt so dip stick did come off and i reinstalled it and secured with bolt. i dont think rtv is needed for the dip stick tho?

 

If you've had the valve cover off and didn't RTV the corners, ect... It will leak.

 

valve cover is good. and its only on underside of alternator and oil spreads everywhere below that line

 

Did you remove the balance shafts by and used the two lil screws in the back to pup off the bearings?
