A couple of weeks ago I replaced the timing belt water pump, cam and crank seals.

I thought it would've been the crank seal that was leaking but now It's leaking more oil than before.

I've taken it to a mechanic and he tells me it's the oil pump, He said he removed a bolt that hold on the power steering bracket and the leak stops but when the the bolt is in it leaks, I find it hard to believe so I'm taking it to another mechanic for a second opinion.

What do you guy's think it could be...

very weird, this is the bolt in question, I've let the engine run for a bit and no leaks. I wonder what is causing it, there is no oil on this bolt.

Well I got another bolt and chopped it down, just to be sure I put some gasket goo on it. :)
