Where is this oil coming from
So the other day i pulled up after a long drive and could smell burning oil, nothing major. Didn't see any smoke whilst driving. Anyway i popped the bonnet and had a good nosey around and noticed that the top of my timing belt cover seemed to have a covering of oil,around the left hand side and underneath the alternator area. It also seemed to cover the area behind the power steering pulley. I have attached some pictures, i know it a long shot but any idea what could cause oil leak it this area ??
Cheers, Joe

Rotating this picture to its correct orientation I would say its a leaking seal, O-ring or other on the P/S pump.

Thanks for all the replies chaps
the oily substance seems quite dark, which is why i assumed its engine oil and not power steering fluid.
il investigate the power steering pump as soon as i can (when it stops bloody raining!!)
