Your best bet it to clean everything off the best you can, and run it to make sure it is the oil pump seal. Most of the time the sump is cracked by the bolt holes. Getting the oil pump off isn't too bad a job, but gettting the main crank bolt undone is unreal if it's been torqued up properly. While it's all off you'll be better off changing the cam belt, and water pump, and fitting a GM oil pump. | |

If it's coating the rear in oil when you're driving imagine what it's doing to the road | |

Oh right, got to get the pump off and belt off, not ridiculously hard to be honest as it's not amazingly hard to get to :thumbs: | |

Tbh it sounds like you have a very bad leak, or a very unhealthy engine. Or possibly both. | |

I didn't say that mate ! I was referring to when I drive like I did to PVS my tail gate was covered in oil, and I've actually seen it dripping now from the oil pump area. | |
