Interesting... the manual instructs the person to apply sealant on the upper surface of the U-shaped seal. I found sealant on both sides of the seal in my car.
The o-ring seal I mentioned is on the upper timing cover and does not go over a shaft. The passage has only coolant. This too had sealant over the o-ring. I need to know if this is normal for assembly, or if some mechanic wanted to "make sure" there would be no leaks.
I've decided to replace ALL seals I disturbed. I want to make sure the repair is "better" than new. I have all winter to do this.
