Hello , All so today while getting new tires and a line up , upon start up and leaving the shop i got a
low oil pressure stop engine warning , so i stoped car turned it off for few min ran a OBD1 check
no codes so i started car and drove home knowing i was possibly gunna tear up the motor ,but i was
pissed , couse ive just droped over 3 grand into getting my car up and running after a mechanic
messed the motor up ,so at this point i gave the didnt care attitude , anyhow car drove fine home no
smoke ,weird noises nothing , warning lighf or oil pressure warning never camd back on ! Got home
parked car let cool cuz its 90 degrees today in oregon lol ! And iam burning up too ! Went back out
checked oil level and it was ok ! But my oil life was low on dash in car time for oil change normal! But
then noticed few droppings under car right under timimng pully and cover they were new , question is
will this couse that in some sort of way , the mechanic who messed up car also worked on putting thiswhen he screwed up the wated pump and broke the studs to the cover ,we fixed that but i wonder if he didnt tighten to spec properly ! I only say this cause of a few threads ive read in this forum , i know
Also it could be faulty pressure switch, or oil pump ,but my main concern was the timming cover ,but
not very much oil coming out very little drops 3 maybe 4 , so i just wanted to know what some thougts
on this would be ??? Test drove again car runs, starts fine , and no check engine or low oil pressure
message nor codes nothing and tested twice letting sit and idle between runs i did use 40 weight oil
when the head job was completed, but i always have in summer lots of traffic to and fro my work place never had a issue with type of oil weights usage in 10 years of owning car , sorry about the long break down just didnt want to miss a deatail ! I assume its the timming cover cause of where the drops are
located and garage floor being clean and what ive read on this forum ??? ,but will this cause oil
pressure message and stop engine there, never was a check engine light on iether ??
