oil leak...please help! 850 1996

dear BB-
I have an oil leak that just started on my '96 850T. The oil is forming a drip at the bottom of the curved brass tube that exits at the bottom corner of the radiator on the passenger side.

The only significant work that has been done on the engine recently is a replaced idler pully tensioner, and a replaced EVAP valve. Would there be any correlation between this work and the leak?

also, the "squeeking" bearing that i supposedly addressed with replacing the idler pulley tensioner is now back, so I know that was not, in fact the source of the noise, could the timing belt tensioner also be suspected of making the same type of noise on cold start?


thanks!

scott k
