Okay, so i just recently changed my accessory belt b/c it had a small tear in it...ended up actually breaking the tensioner bolt so i had to get that replaced and stuff. so, anyway, the acc belt starts squealing like a banshee again and i'm wondering why, since it's brand new (i re-tensioned it after the first couple drives with the new belt, although it's all by feel since i don't have one of those guages the big book says to use).
anyway, i popped open the hood and i think i discovered why it's squealing--i've got oil splatter marks right in the area around where the belts/sproket is/are and a nice littel band of black on the underneath part of my hood. now, this looks like it's pretty bad, but what could have sprung a leak in this area? i'm not very familiar with toyota motors, as i've owned hondas all my life. perhaps it's just a minor gasket (what's in this area? starter? something else?). maybe i'll be able to get a pic or two up later...but does this problem sound familar to anyone? thx in advance edit: i realized it'd probably be helpful if i specified what type of engine this is--it's a 99gt liftback, autotragic, 2.2L edit: oil spray underneath hood dirty communist oil invading my engine bay oil splatter on pulley/sprocket thing This post has been edited by Abraxis64: Jun 11, 2006 - 8:13 PM |

this happened to the vert celi quite recently, its still in the backyard:P
what happened is the crank pully/harmonic balancer on our engine is a 2-peice held together by a rubberized seal, well it failed and caused the accessory drive part of it to pop off, grind the belts till they melted everywhere, and grind agaist the frame causing the car to turn off.. might want to give it a check. |
