Default HEY i have an oil leak drippin on a belt!

and i'm pretty sure that's not a good thing. it also drips onto my exhaust but not enough to get to the ground. the stuff that's getting on the belts seems is getting slng all over the inside of the engine bay. mainly in a big streak down the hood. it doesn't seem to be affecting the belts grip on anything, the ac slips some but i figured that was from bein loose. it idles a bit low too but i think thats from when i replaced the batery (someone mentioned if you replace then drive right home it can mess up the idle or something like that)

sorry this post is so long and crappy looking but i figure someone out there know's what the deal is

thanks

where is it leaking from?
oil pump? valve cover? cam seals? oil pan?

when i forgot to put my oil cap (yes, my moment of genius) the oil that got onto the timing belt caused it to jump a tooth and break. food for thought.

My cam seal started leaking on the timing belt, same result as above.

ya it could be the cam seal, valve cover gasket, anything around the oil pump ect. just clean up as much as you can around that side of the motor, and drive it a bit and check out what is leaking.
