Leaking Cam Gaskets

[habib63]

Hi all, took the car over the pits the other day for rego transfer. No problems at all except a note from one of the guys about a small oil leak at the rear of the motor. I knew it was there before so I washed everything, it appears that it is coming from the cam cover. Does anyone know where the best (and cheapest) place is to get new ones or is it worth trying to remove and reseal what is there?

Ring around some of the places in the Where to get serviced thread. Or tighten them your self, (thats if the bolts are loose)

Thanks race, the first thing I checked were the screws, all were secure. Might see if I can remove and reseal before spending $160 on gaskets.

other wise go to Trojan, I am sure John will give you a good price.

ive got a similar leak, ive thought nothing of it.. i notice a little bit of oil every 3 months or so at the back of the cam covers, and wipe it off..

Hi all, bought some gasket sealer, removed the cam cover and coated the gasket with the goo. So far so good, no leaks at all.
