Message	leaking oil. I got burned by this one. Easiest way to check is when you do the timing belt, pull of each Intake Cam Gear and check to see that you cannot spin the back separately from the gear. If you can, they are leaking. I also recommend replacing as many gaskets/seals as you can, short of head gasket. While you are at it, you might as well get the valve covers off, replace the gaskets and do a PCV re-route.
