I was doing some maintenance and noticed some oil on the passenger side of car when I took the belly pan down. It looked like it was coming from the oil pressure sender, so that has been replaced. While I was under the car I noticed drop of dark liquid under the water pump just above where the lower radiator hose is mounted to it. I reached up and it was motor oil. I wiped it away and a new drop appeared after a few minutes. Once I was done with the oil pressure I started the engine and let it idle for 10 minutes. Did not see a new drip, but came back 1/2 hour later and there were a few drops on the floor. This is an 89 S2. I've been trying to figure out what seals are above the water pump, the only one I can think of is the camshaft seal but that was replaced less than 3000 miles ago.
Any ideas? Is there an oil line that goes above the water pump that could be leaking? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
