Also since it is coming right out of there that means no coolant should have been able to get into the oil correct???

Thanks
That's good news. A real leak means it's not going into the combustion chamber and oil gallery.

You have to remove the tensioner base with the bracket on it. There are several bolts. One I believe you access through a hole in the pulley. The angle plastic tubes should all be replaced. They are available at the parts store in a package. I don't know if the o-rings are in the package or separate. Replace all the plastic 90 degree elbows. They are brittle with age. Clean o-ring slots carefully. Some people use a little silicone sealer on the o-rings.
