Hi all,
I have had an oil leak for a little while now, steadily getting worse by the day.
Anyhow, I had a suspision it was coming from the camshaft seal. So today I took the top cambelt cover off to have a look. My suspisions were confirmed when I noticed the seal sitting about a quater of an inch proud of the camshaft cover. I pushed the seal back home and noticed that it wasn't a tight fit. So it looks like I will have to strip her down and replace said seal...
While I strip to replace the seal and contaminated cambelt, is there anything else I should be looking to replace?
I replaced the water pump, cambelt tensioner and idler wheel about 9K ago.
Thanks Martin

Pop a rocker gasket on too... as you have or should have the rocker off..
I say this, because you may well find the Orface for the New cam seal may be a little too tight, and you may need to undo the No.3 Cam shaft cap to slip it in - I do this with practice anyway, so I do NOT damage the outside edge of the seal when trying to press it in... On the other had with the old seal being too loose, t he cap Could have come loose....
