Default Is this Possible???

It would appear oil is leaking from my WATER PUMP Is this possible?
Or should I be assuming it's from the oil pump?


The attached picture shows the water pump ( Bright shiny aluminum center left) You can see the oil on the bottom of the water pump
Dull aluminum( center right) is the oil pump. Bolt hole is for the oil filter housing.


Thanks in advance..

that picture is intense, hard for me to tell what I'm looking at but either way I'm pretty sure you can't leak oil from the water pump. Oil pump is definatly a possiblilty as are the balance shaft covers or anything else above that can drip to that point.

Probably a form of sealant.

Nah, there is nothing near the waterpump where oil can leak.

You have a lot of things that could leak oil near the water pump though.
