Default Unknown part leaking oil by oil pan


So I want to know what this part is. I’ve looked in the manual and online / YouTube. But it looks like it’s leaking bad from that area. It’s connected to a belt, and it’s on the driver side, below the timing belt cover. Obviously my oil pan is leaking but I’m curious on the area in the circle. Thank you !

Does your car have power steering? The shaft seal can go bad in the power power steering pump and make a mess of things underneath it. Other sources could be valve cover gasket and the cam seal.

I recommend taking your time and cleaning everything up really good, then running it and seeing if you can identify the leak source.

Isn’t ac fluid neon green or some type of color bc of the dye that helps you see leaks.. take a paper towel to it I bet it’s pinkish so ps fluid.

depends on whether or not dye was added at some point. The original systems didn't have dye. But I agree, I'm thinking PS fluid

i do need to change a bunch of gaskets and covers cause the person that had it before me. Used some of that orange paste to seal all of it lol sucks. But it gives me something to work on I got the oil pan gasket, valve cover with gasket, iac gasket. And after I switch that out I think I should be fine. I’ll show y’all after though! We’ll see what happens…
