have oil leak 91 ls b18a1

i have a leak coming from the driver side i cant tell if it just needs a pan gasket or a crank seal. i just replaced the motor and had to use the pan off the motor that was in the car cause the salvage yard fucked up the pan on my new motor but i didnt replace the gasket like i should have.

you answered you’re own question. besides that LOOK we can’t really help you w/o detailed pics

i’ll get pics of it tomorrow

When you replaced the pan, you obviously should have replaced your gasket. Possible leaks, cam seals, crank seal, valve cover that’s off the top of my head… long day at work= brain dead.

i have checked the valve cover there is no visible leak at all.i thought the old pan and gasket would be fine for cause i ran out of cash. the leak looks like it might be coming from the crank seal and pan gasket because the entire driver side is covered in oil and there is oil on the hood like it is slinging off the crank pulley.
