I found that the platic cover has gasket around two holes as shown in the photo (not of my car). Could this hole lead behind timing cover and if it is leaking from there then oil can pass behind the cover.

Re: Oil leak C5 v6
Sealed the cam cover from out side so there is no oil from rocker and cam cover seal. But still there leak from bottom part for timing cover which suggest that it is leaking from from cam seal. Is it worth trying stop oil leak products to reduce the leak as replacing the cam seal is not economical compare to value of the car.

Oil leak fixed.
It was rear rocker cover leaking from timing cover side on the corner.

Did you manage to fix this leak? I seem to have a very similar leak...zeeshanzaki wrote: ↑16 Sep 2018, 13:01 Found the source of leak but not sure if its coming from rocker cover or cam seal which behind timing cover bracket. Leak incrased only after doing rocker cover seal.
thanks!
