About 4 months ago I ended up ruining my heads when my timing belt came off while driving. I have since bought new heads put them on and have driven the car a few times. The car prior to the new heads didn't leak a single drop of oil but after it goes through about 3/4 a quart every couple days. Since I couldn't see anything with the engine bay filled I decided to take it apart to investigate. The leak is definitely around where the alternator and power steering pump is mounted. It's not the intake, exhaust, cam seals head gasket or front main seal causing the problem. i am completely lost as to where the leak is.
Is there an easy way to pressurize an oil system with air, to find the leak? i had the idea to take out the oil plug located where the alternator mounts and screwing in an air hose fitting to pressurize and look for it that way. Will this work?
Any help would be great
