oil leakage fixed
fixed my oil leak, missing bolt from the back timing cover, forgot that it was missing and while replacing timing belt, forgot to plug it up.
say the timing belt got soaked in oil...like its shiny now. how short does that cut the life of the belt? need to know if i should replace it right now, or if i have some time till my next paycheck...next thursday.
thanks in advance

its been proven oil is slippery...
yeah...i have to remove it anyway and clean off the cam pulley, the belt likes to ride dangerously close to the egde of the pulley... and i can watch it wiggle back and forth on the cam pulley.
wish it had a little lip on it like the water pump, that would ease my pain a little
