Hi we have a oil leak that is coming from behind the timming belt pulley does anyone know if there is a gasket/oil seal behind this and if so does anyone have a part number?
Thanks

Re: Oil Leak
I am no bongo mechanic nor a car mechanic but i have done lots of engine work on various engines, and i work on large diesel engines on trains for a living.
You will have a oil seal where your cam shaft exits the rocker cover, what will be needed is to obtain the part, remove timing covers, line up all your timing marks then you will need to lock off top timing sprocket and undo its retaining bolt (Remember when this bolt goes back it needs to be torqed up) Once belt is to one side and sprocket off what i use is a terminal screw driver that i have heated up and bent into a hook to extract the seal. If this fails drill a 2-3mm hole into the main bit of seal (collect swarf) and screw in a self tapper tight and use pliers to extract.
Fit new with some clean oil to aid insertion may need a carful tap into place use something like a large socket the same size to beat it in. Now rebuild and check timing. (To check timing you must rotate engine by hand a few times round and check marks are still lined up, use a socket and rachet on lowest main pully direction of rotation un-important)
Good luck hope this is a help
