90pathy2door Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 looks like my 90 is leaking oil kinda bad from around the front timing cover. what could be the leak and how bad is it to fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Could be your forward main seal or your forward cam seals. or all 3. you'll need to remove your timing belt, and timing gears and inner timing covers to get to all of them. See Timing belt in the how-to section for guidance. If its really bad I'd fix it soon, the Oil may be softening up your timing belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewebster Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 sounds expensive,might just dump it before I sink alot of money into it If you're gonna dump it, you might want to try it yourself. The seals themselves are only a few bucks. It's all labour. I guess you should do your t-belt too, and that's maybe $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
