Tightned up all bolts- but all 3 bolts were loose and hitting the driver transfer pulley-
hope they stay in this time:beerchug:

Hope so too...but does that explain the oil? Or no?

IDK for sure- but there was a buildup of dirt/oil near the bolts as well, and one of them clearly had pipe sealer/tape on it.. so I hope so. Cleaned it all up and watching for a return. SC oil level was within operating range.

Bryan, the oil on the left fender well is coming from your blow off valve or the power steering. I'm leaning more on the blow off valve side since it's on the other side of the fender well cover. I think you got happy with the K&N Oil!:biggrinjester: I get the same splatter effect from my car!

I hear ya- but it showed up in one day and not after re-oiling, plus it doesn't explain the oil on the wall of the engine compartment and around those bolts.
It's also possible that the oil was from the oil change- they may have dumped some in that area and it made it down to the outside- so unrelated to the bolts- but still keeping an eye on them!!:beerchug:

How about the loose nut behind the wheel ?

Is that still there ?

The car wouldn't be the same without it! LOL

Sometimes that nut gets wound up a bit too tight though- the go pedal seems to loosen it back up a bit:D

I will have to check mine out for this also, thanks for the heads up.
