Oil leaking all over my serpentine belt

Post by stynkmonkey »

My 2003 Vibe is leaking oil all over the serpentine belt. I've no idea where it's coming from. I was about to hit it with a pressure washer to clean it up and see if I can trace the leak. Is this a problem anyone else has had and might want to give me a place to look first?BTW it's not the head gasket, that would have been too easy.

It is possible. I think it started sometime after I replaced the serpentine belt. Is that common on the Vibes?

i hesitate to say common, but it is an issue with that has happened. usually all it ends up doing is making enough noise to make you want to change it.
