So i have a s14 sr in my 90 hatch and i just finished rebuilding it and got my freashly wired harness back from being rewired, i start the car up and it run like a dream but i look in the engine bay and i see oil all over the ground. cut the car off and start looking for the source of the leak upon futher inspection i think its coming from alittle behind the chain tensioner anybody ever have this promblem or know a easy way to fix it? Short of taking the motor apart again? Thanks

from where the leak is coming from it makes me think that one of the head studs may not be as tight as it needs to be, does that sound right?

make sure the chain tensioner has a gasket or replace it.

if you replaced the H/G i hope you put a dab RTV on the spots where the oil pump meets the block on the top.
