[928uk] oil leak

Wed Feb 29 12:34:15 UTC 2012

How is that done then? I have yet to do the job, but I thought at least you would need to lock the flywheel at TDC and release the tension on the belt and I thought the rollers for this are behind the centre cover which only comes off with the pully out of the way, ok the belt isn't quite off but nearly.So what is the minimum you need to do with the belt, just release the tension on it? I can see the adusting bolt, it isn't behind a cover.

I thought it may be the cam covers at the end of the cam towers near the firewall but they seem dry.  Is it an engine out job to fettle a cam cover gasket? I don't suppose anyone recommends an instant fix pour it in and voila type remedy? (nope didn't think so!!!)
