If my cam seals or oil seal was leaking, would I have oil n the Timing Belt Cover?
After chaning a VERY obviously leaking valve cover, I moved on to the timing belt where I suspected a faulty cam and/or oil pump seal. After removing the TB covers, I found NO evidence of any oil inside the timing belt cover. There was a bit of dust, but no oily residue. I have yet to remove the "rear" valve covers, that is tomorrow, but if the seals were bad, shouldn't oil be leaking into those covers? Thanks.
In addition, the timing belt looks perfect (unlike my drive belts). do worn timing belts show obvious signs of wear (cracking, fraying, etc)? Clarke Last edited by clarkerussell; 02-28-2011 at 04:26 PM. |

When mine were bad oil got slung everywhere. I bet someone already replaced yours.

You have it apart. Might as well replace all the seals or you'll be kicking yourself when you smell burning oil this summer.

I'm planning on it replacing them, as well as all the pulley's and the water pump, but I was just curious about how the timing belt should look after 60K miles.
Mine looks nearly new... |
