It appears that there's an oil-like leak on the left top of the water pump housing. I can see where it's accumulated and dropped down the front. It starts just next to the seal and I haven't been able to locate anything above it that's damp. Its smell is very faint and I can't identify, but it's oil colored.
I'm aware that my valve cover gaskets are leaking, but this is a drip coming from somewhere I can't figure out.
Is there an oil line somewhere or another component above or nearby that could be causing this?
For background, the ac system has a leak and ran out its freon. At all times, there is an odd chemical smell coming from the front passenger side near the radiator and close to this leak. I don't know if any of this is linked, but just in case. It looks to me like the water pump had been replaced recently, from the massive amount of gasket sealer, and I've replaced the radiator and most of the lines already with new ones.
