I pulled the cover to check condition of the belt again (i'm assuming its very recent since there is no wear or cracking and a shiny new water pump in there too)

Anyways I noticed wet black sludge inside the cover towards the firewall. It seems to be pooling where the front cover tab inserts into the back cover. I also noticed that it's using that tab hole as a drain and there is some oil on the CV boot. Any ideas as to what it could be? I didn't really see anything above the water pump but will look again. Also no... no oil got on the T-belt.

Maybe this is where all my oil was going when I posted before about getting 1,000 to a quart. The good thing is that it hasn't used any oil since then and it's finally starting to keep clean longer.
