Oil on the passenger's side...

[Massasoit]

Well, there's oil pretty much everywhere on the passenger's side of the car.

Seems like it's getting on the belt and getting flung everywhere from that, but I don't know where it's leaking from.

Any ideas on where it might be?

It's a 95.

first thing is to clean everything up with a degreaser. then as the oil starts to come back you can see where its coming from.

id clean it up like suggested above. Id imagine its coming from the timing cover, oil pan, or valve covers.

On that side, things it could be:

Timing cover
Tensioner
Crank seal
Sensors (crank / cam)

among some other things i may be forgetting

It also depends on the kind of oil since the power steering pump is on that side too.

Clean everything as was said, and personally, I would check the power steering fluid first. Make sure the reservoir isn't low...

I am relatively sure it's not the power steering - that did have a rather bad leak when I first got the car, but I got it fixed.

all of the fluids have a different distinct smell, ATF for the PS, coolant, oil, trans / brake fluid.

You should be able to tell if you've ever smelled the different fluids.

What engine do you have?

I had a leak recent with my 96. The sump, front exhaust manifold was covered in oil. I cleaned up the engine & painted some gray around the sump to see where it was coming from.

Turns out it was the sump gasket!
