'6 cam cover - Matt - 09-02-2016
Rear cam cover is looking a tad black. Not fresh oil, it's tarry. There is what looks like fresh oil in a pool in the far left bolt hole
Think it's a leak? Or a blow from somewhere? I've cleaned it up but cars off the road for a few days while I change over manifolds and stuff

They all leak really. The seal is built in so what i would do is get some instant gasket, run a even bead around, sit the cover on and tighten the screws down just to hold it in place, wait for the instant gasket to set then tighten it right down. Should do the trick

Sounds about right! I'm searching for a pair of covers anyway! So I'll swap them over and do this while changing them over

I've cleaned it up. I'm just waiting to see if it's a case of its leaking or it was spilt oil
