oil leak behind the accessory belt & pulleys

[zdenko]

Hey guys

I have had a worsening oil leak on my XR6 VCT for the last 9 months now.
Looking at this article it looks like it is coming from behind the water/power steering pump, so I'm confident to say it is probably the timing tensioner adjuster bolt seal as shown in above pics. I have already removed the plastic guards around the ps pump and belt to get a better look.

Funny thing was before this leak I had a leak from the centre seal at the front of the motor and my water pump leaking which was replaced when I got LPG installed 12 months ago. I wish this leak started then as well.

I will probably just take it to the LPG guys for rego in late June to fix it but if I have time I want to have a look myself.

Now before I even go pulling it apart, is there any difference on a VCT motor to the normal i6 motor that I need to be aware of in regards to the belts, bolts, adjusters etc?
