Default oil leak problem solved

with regards to this thread

alright, I finally figured out what was wrong. kevie88 on this board and I changed the timing belt and relateld parts and found that it was the balanacer shaft seal that was messed up. The thing had that little aftermarket holder in place but it still managed to back itself out. I finally realized why it did this. When I placed my catch can on the breather valve on the valve cover, I stuffed too much steel wool in the can and it wasn't able to breathe! So I was driving one night and suddenly I saw smoke coming out from my engine, as I went to inspect it, the dip stick was half way out and oil was everywhere!! So I took out some steel wool and it was fine from there, except the seal got pushed out along with the dip stick and I haven't been able to diagnose the problem until last night!

Anyway, thanks to kevie88 and yah, that blanacer shaft seal was the problem but we replaced that little device that prevents it from backing out, anyway.
