Strange gunk build up.
Hey guys I was cleaning my engine bay yesteray and noticed some gunk build up at the bottom on top of the steering rack motor, on the bracket/bolts of the alternator, and all over what looks like some sort of hydrolic belt tensioner. I wiped the tensioner down (so the pictures won't show it was the most caked up) and don't really see any oil leaks anywhere and even the top of the skid plate looks mostly clean besides some rikoshe splatter. Anyone know if this hydrolic shock tensioner thing is prone to bursting? Looks like its seeping through the top. I'll take it to the dealer soon since this car is still under bumper to bumper, but wanted to see if anyone had any experience with something like this here first.

Mine did the same thing, the part was $50.00 bucks and took every bit of 20 minutes to do.

hydraulic belt tensioner is leaking, they all do it. As long as its holding pressure and the belt isn't screaming run it. Mine has been like that on both my camaro's for years.

OK - you made me go look. I'm lucky so far as mine with a little over 4 years and 28K miles shows no leakage (yet?).

Giving the fact you are still under warranty, I'd make the stealership do it as well! |
