7afe WTF Is wrong with my car?!, Grinding noise Options

[Red94Celica]

Okay, so today I left to head over to my brothers house and my car just started making some loud ass noises. I dont know what causing it. It appears there is a small amount of fresh oil coming out of the motor. It sounds like it is coming from the left side of the motor, where the alternator and belts are. There is a pretty significant power loss (not that the motor is powerfull anyway lol) but especially when you get into the higher RPM range, (4500+) it basically just stops producing any power from there on out. It made the same noise the other night, so I pulled over and popped the hood and then it just stopped making the noise. So I figured that there was a chunk of snow/ice inside getting knocked around since we just had a pretty bad snow/ice storm. All help is appreciated!

Here is the oil coming out.


I took a short video of the noise, I'll have the link to that within the hour.

in the 7afe - you have to take off the water pump/ and steering pump to get to the timing belt.

No you dont...

Its either your waterpump or tensioner though as you already know..just replace both along with your timing belt...should do the front crank seal, cam seal and valve cover gasket while your at it
