        not usually, but inspect it for plat and spin it and listen to the bearings.

          I'm thinking I'm about to tear into it.

          It's the top one right? Coolant looks like it's coming from the bottom pulley

              What would be leaking copious amounts of oil behind the timing cover?

              BTW, the timing cover is TRASHED and one of the bolts broke off as I was removing it.
              Buck.

                Cam seal, crankshaft seal or oil pump gasket.
                All 3 of mine were leaking, what a mess.

                    Is the tensioner in the right position?

                          Maybe try putting the timing belt on the crank sprocket first, then try slipping it onto the camshaft sprocket.

                            That's the best way to do it. Also clean up all that oil with engine degreaser. Once dry from hosing it, test run it and track that leak.

                              Hey guy, I just finished doing mine, twice. The tensioner pulley should be all the way to the left or toward the firewall and bolt tight to hold it in place while you put new belt on. When I put it together the first time I made the tensioner pulley too tight. For that, just unloosen the tension pulley bolt, and let spring put tension on the belt and then tighten bolt. Like the other guys said, put belt on the bottom pulley first and then do the top. Did you take the splash guard off behind the front wheel so you can look up by the bottom sprocket to see if something is lodged under the sprocket, like dirt, old piece of gasket. Wish I was closer I could help more. Let us know what you find. Make sure the marks are where they are suppose to be. Even off one tooth can make a big difference in it running right. Let us know what you find.

                                I'll re-do it tomorrow. See what's up. Tensioner MAY be too tight..... We'll see. I did start with the crank before slipping it on the cam though
