tiny oil drip behind crank pully

[92accord ex]

after i got my car tuned i was putting my o2 sensor back in and theres a small drip of oil right behind the crank pully. im not sure if its a cam seal, or im not sure isnt there a oil pump right there. anyone have a clue. im gonna be doing my timming belt soon thats when im going to tackle it. i was thinking of going with Gates Racing Belt ive herd good things about them but how are there tensioners?

heres a link of the gates racing belts

I'm confused as to why you didn't do the timing belt before installing the engine.

Either way, it could be a number of things. The oil pump, balance shaft seal, front main seal or camshaft seal could all be potential issues. Just watch it like a hawk and if the rate increases I would shut it down and park it. Truthfully, given the unknowns you may be best off doing that now.

you wont really know where the leak is coming from until you remove and inspect. it can be leaking from the valve cover gasket, cam seal(s), balancer seal, crank seal, oil pump, or even the oil pan.
if you are planning on changing your t-belt, it would be a time to replace the items i just listed as well as the water pump
