I got the front timing components changed, the rear cartridge changed, and the entire engine put back together. I decided not to change the rear seal as it didn't seem wet as @RobbieD described. I cranked the car a few times with the fuel pump fuse out to get the oil circulating and then put the fuse back in and started the engine. It sounded great in its idle state. After about 5 seconds of running, I looked under the car, and oil was pouring on the floor. I probably lost 1/2 - 3/4 of a quart in the 5-10 seconds the engine was running.
So here is my question, outside of the rear seal, is there any other location that would produce that much oil?
As an FYI, I bought this truck knowing the front timing tensioner was broken. So I don't know what the oil state was before I purchased/repaired it. I bought the truck without the engine running.
Thanks again in advance!
