Can you guys help??Got a small oil leak lying under the engine on drivers side to the right of the timing cover. On the short piece of briaded hose. Can anyone tell me where it is coming from. Thanks Ron

I would start checking at the power steering pump and related parts.

Mine was leaking right there and it ended up being the vacuum pump seal- in between the vacuum pump and p. s. pump. A guy makes a really nice kit to repair it at fixinrams.com. Its the vacuum pump re-seal kit $59. 99. Great instructions and dvd-easy fix. I'm betting that is were yours is leaking. Just my . 02. Good luck, Nick.

Same thing mine was the vacumm pump but I had to bye the whole pump NAPA $539. 00 no more leak it's a pain to put on though so be ready to sweat a little bit.

I chased the same leak for a month Turns out it was the injector pump .

For anybody that has this problem it is almost alway the Vacume pump right behind the timing cover and infront of the PS pump. There is a small braided line that is just a positive pressure oil line that conects to the block and Vacume pump. There is a guy at www.fixinrams.com that will sell you the kit and instructions to fix this. It is a full day and twelve pack but well worth it since it saves the around $550.

Hope that helps.
