Mel,

I used the loctite 5999 to seal the upper timing covers. I too had oil leaking from the distributor area - both the camshaft seals and the upper timing covers.


Removal and Installation of the distributor caps to gain access to the camshaft seals.


This might be of help too.....

* Remove and install intake air hose.
* Model 124: remove and install air scoops.
* Unclip and take off shielding caps (1) and (1a) at the side.
* Unbolt high voltage distributors (2) and (2a).
* Unbolt distributor rotor (3). Tighten to 2.5 Nm on reassembly.
* Unbolt driver (4). Tighten to 9 Nm on reassembly

Installation Note: The slot of the driver (4) must engage in the locating pin in the camshaft.

* Take off protective cover (5) together with seal (6).
* Installation is reverse of removal procedure. Observe installation note and tightening torques.
