Mechanic changed timing belt now oil is spewing out with loud rubbing noise?
What is your question?
So yesterday I picked up my car from a recomended mechanic.I drove it about three miles when I could hear a rubbing noise that sounded it was from the timing belt. I pulled into my driveway and immediately had a drip coming from the timing belt housing. What could this be. The belt makes a horribly loud rubbing noise and the oil shot all over the undercarriage of the car. I got the the mechanic to send a tow truck to pick up the car and hopefully they will fix it. Could one of the mechanics not tighten a gasket correctly?

Thanx guys! The mechanic changed his tone when I asked him about the possibilitiy of one of them not putting a seal on correctly. He just kept saying we'll fix it we'll fix it. I'm still betting he's gonna come up with something though.
Thank you both
So the timing belt cover was misaligned and they corrected that. They claim that no oil was spewing out of the car. They say someone must have spilt it?!?!
