Oil leak

Hi guys

Yesterday after 2 hours of driving when came home noticed it's losing oil.

I had a look today and after the car was warm found out it's coming around balancer (ATI) ?. And little bit oil inside cam cover (clear).

so am I f###d???? Or it's some seals or something??

And would it cost me arm and a leg?

it's a 33 GTR , N1 block, Nitto bottom end.

Thanks

Would be the cam seals leaking.

Thanks for that.

Car is going in for turbo upgrade by end of the month will do cam belt too as it looks like it's got bit of wear on it.

I am getting 100,00 km water pump(N1) and timing belt kit which includes cam and crank seal . Any other parts I need to get?

idler wheel and tension wheel, but if you're getting a kit they should come with it.

Is it a track car?

If not get a standard pump not an N1

Its easy to think because its a flash 'NISMO' pump its going to be better but not the case for driving around town.
The N1 pump is designed to work at higher RPM

Just an update:

Car is at mechanics and whole front is off and It doesn't look like its the cam/crank seals or grub screws .

Looks like engine out and head off ,been told it could be oil pump (8000km Nitto pump) or seals in there somewhere???

Will report back when the leak I found.

Engine out and head off for a possible oil pump problem? Something smells fishy about that. Oil pump seal problem is likely all it is.

I don't know if you have seen the clip or not it was actually dripping out When the car was warm only , oil pressure was normal (started high then dropped when warm unless the gauge is stuffed) when I was looking for a leak, Nitto pump was new when installed .

I will wait  few a days after they check other possible culprits then weigh my options. 

Might do my EFR single turbo conversion while the engine is out and save some money ?!!? 

What you guys think??

Cheers

You have to be careful the mechanic isn't taking you for a ride is all. The engine needs to be cleaned, mocked up less belt covers, ps and ac belts off and fan off to be able to warm the car and get a clear indication where the leak Is happening. If they don't know where it's coming from and they don't do that test I would find another mechanic. The leak should be obvious at the rate the oil was coming out on the video.
