The accessory belt on this thing has been a little squeeky on cold startup the last month or so. Finally got it up in the air and took a look, I knew I had a small oil leak back here (likely from the turbo feed but I'm not sure) but it appears as though I let it go a little too long, oil spray everywhere back here and all over the side of the motor, the pullies, belt, etc. Boo.

I sprayed the entire side of the motor down with brake cleaner and scrubbed everything I could and then swapped on a new belt. Squeek gone! I put some miles on it and re-checked it but I can't see the leak anywhere now, motor is bone dry all over. I'll put some more miles on it this weekend for the MitsuStyle fall cruise and check it again when I get back.

Still love this car! Had a serious offer on it and end of the day it made me just want to keep it even more. Blah!

Any chance its CV boot grease slinging around? Mine did that and made a mess.

The CV clamps were done on this a couple years back, I remember because I sold him the parts. :D

I'd be surprised if they were leaking again but might be worth a look.

This. Some of the mess was a little bit lighter colored and reminded me of CV grease. We'll see if/when it comes back over time I guess.
