Re: mystery leak expands 200 93

I'm going to guess that they are related.

A leaky camshaft seal will take the water pump-to-head seal with it in short order.

Plus if the flame trap is clogged, you're going to get oil coming from every possible place that it can, most usually the seals. Clean the flame trap if you haven't already. Almost every old lady car has a dirty flame trap unless it was dealer serviced on the intervals given in the manual.

You're probably going to end up with a new timing belt, water pump, and front (cam and main, maybe intermediate shaft) seals. Not that expensive, and certainly nowhere NEAR the expense to get a head gasket replaced.
