I need a little help here, I've had this oil leak for a while. It's not bad enough to leave anything on the ground but since it's leaking near the belts somewhere it's just flinging it all over the place, so it's hard to locate.
This is just below the tentioner and idler pullies notice the buildup right above the front cover bolt ...

The tentioner and idler pullies, notice the buildup on the inner lip of both the pullies and the bolt inbetween them ...

The crank and oil pump sprockets which have no sgin of oil leaking around or behind them ...

I took pictures of the areas with the most build up to give you guys an idea of whats going on. I've inspected the oil sending unit and it had no signs of leaking aswell as the turbo oil feed and return lines, both show no signs of leaking. The head gasket, vavle cover, and cams all show no signs of leaking. I'm at a loss here guys, could it be possible for one of the bolts in the front cover to leak? Or that single bolt inbetween the timing belt Tentioner and Idler pullies?
