Possible oil leak

So about 2-4 weeks ago me and a buddy installed Steeda underdrive pulleys.


i think down by the crank pulley its some how not on right. but when me and emerson installed my hood struts we noticed oil like residue on the hood so i cleaned it off. today i looked again its back. also where i park my car int he garage there is one drop and a bunch of little tiny dropped from when i start and or rev my car little tiny droplets about the size of a pen top. it doesnt do it every time but does it enough. and low oil light came on last week so i threw another quart in there and it has been fine. i looked under my car and the sway bar is covered in residue from it. any ideas of what it actually might be and what i need to do to fix it and costs?

also another issue i tried to take off the little cap for the coolant tube which looks like a 3/8 drive jsut fits in there but i tried my damndest to get that damn thing open. ive never opened it in the 4 yrs ive owned the car and have just filled the coolant through the expansion tank any ideas how to get it open?

info SCS has gave me so far:

jon burgandy: I remember something about lining up the key and oil leaks....

See the key in the left most pulley in the center of it?

me: yea we lined that up because it wouldnt go on if you didnt

jon burgandy: "and most importantly THE KEY NOTCH on the crankshaft. You see, after you take the crank pulley assembly out of the boiling water, you'll need to SEAL THE KEY NOTCH AREA, with high temp silicon sealer. If you don't, oil will spill out of this notch area !!! Lay a bead of sealant in the "key notch" area quickly on the new crank pulley before installing.

me: well **** now what lol didnt do that part. the pulleys just said take the stock bolt out and put the new one on with the pulleys

jon burgandy: LOL That's why you're getting fine splatter of oil...it's leaking out the notch and getting flung everywhere when it spins.

me: well **** what do i do? at least it isnt a lot

jon: You take it back off, clean it, put sealant on it, and re-install it.

me: that is going to be a fing *****. especially since i did it at the mira mar auto hobby shot and dont have a pulley puller at my crib
