front of motor leaks oil

[87-325ic]

i think i may have a leak coming from the rocker shaft end plugs. they are new though, however when i installed them i just stuck em in.

Should i have used some silicone sealant or something around them?

[SpecM]

no, they are installed dry

maybe cam seal?

[87-325ic]

ill see once i do another timing belt job.. its due this year i believe.

You could have a leaking cam shaft seal.

Did you lube the cam seal before installing?

[87-325ic]

probably not, it was a few years back..

ya, i just did a full rebuild on my eta and about 50miles after the front of the head was leaking from the 2 half moons, right behind the top pulley. basically glue them in to keep them from leaking.
