Message	I'm about 200 miles into shakedown after valve cover job and 120k. I don't have a single leak, smell, odd sound, except SOMETHING is very slowly leaking onto the top of my water pump housing. The little flat "valley" on the top behind the sensor plugs. It LOOKS like oil, but doesn't smell like it... I'm wondering if it's not grease from the new idler pulley I just installed...? Nothing else is right in this area... as it's pretty much dead center of the block. ie. cam seals, valve covers, etc. are all to the sides. Anyone seen this? Former Stage V addict... off the wagon.

Looks like oil. No real smell (n/m) - GrecV2 17:11:10 05/12/18 intake valve covers, cam seals, or VTC gears - Zbruh92 19:41:06 05/17/18 Copy that. But this has no oil smell. That's pretty distinct (n/m) - GrecV2 18:28:17 05/18/18 New oil doesn’t have much of a “smell”, old or dirty oils do - Zbruh92 19:15:50 05/18/18 I 1st saw it when there was used oil in her... but still... - GrecV2 01:05:02 05/19/18 Just to be clear, VTCs are the ones w/ little covers... - GrecV2 10:50:58 05/19/18
