Oil Leak Around Cams Front S2 Stagea

[Stealth400]

Had a Oil leak all down the head/block front. So I replaced cam seals and timing belt, checked again still oil down the front but the not 100% it's the seals is it possible that the ball bearings under the cam can leak that block the oil gallery's leak ?

If these are the problem how do you fix them ?

Wipe, start test and watch.

Quite often the leak can come from around the cam cap parting line too.

When and if ordering new cam seals, they should be the same part as the oil pump seals, they are all the same.

Just a quick note, the gasket under your cam cover looks broken in the pic just where it passes over the cap.

You should always use a bit of silicon in the corners and over the top of the cap on the gasket as they are known areas that are difficult to seal and leak.

Cheers I'll take time sealing them on the rebuild. The oil had pooled up in the recess where the ball bearing is. So that is my reason for thinking is it possible to leak from them ?

I've pulled out the engine to freshen up bearings gaskets,seals ect. So I'll just have to wait once I put it back in midweek to check if it's sealed.
