I needed to replace my camshaft seal as I found that it was indeed the culprit of my oil leak. I'm not sure why it was leaking as it was brand new and I am sure that I did not damage it or fold the lip back.
The dealer gave me a new one (gratis ![]() I did notice that I placed this seal a little further into the cover than the previous one. (I didn't do that one) The cam does not protrude very far out from the cover and maybe the seal was not fully mating with the cam. I put all back together today after getting a new distributor cap. I broke the center contact inside the old one getting it out. I ran the car for awhile this afternoon while I put the center console back together. So far, no signs of a leak. What I thought was going to be a no cost fix ended up being $80. ![]() These pics are without the seal, and with the new seal in place.
