275 Cam Cover Oil Leak

[classicfred]

Have noticed oil weeping out of maybe 2 bolts holding in the cam cover. Not a massive amount but there none the less. Anyone know if this is a garage job or can be ' self done ' by loosing the bolts and applying a sealant to them ? Presume it is a garage job as cover holds cams in place on this engine (F4RT). Thanks.

Bit of a delayed reply here but this seems to be common and I had it on mine, as well as a rocker cover leak. If it's just the bolts, then you can do this yourself but as mine was in for other work, a specialist took care of mine.

Definitely worth getting the rocker cover inspected too though, as this could potentially be catastrophic. Mine had leaked all over the belts and pulleys – was very lucky to catch it!
