Calling M276 engine guru







i have a leak on the driver side front timing cover. I would like to fix this myself but seem the power steering reservoir might be in the way of removing a bolt. Here are some pics. What do you think?? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I would really like to know how to remove the engine cover\plenum.
In your case you might get better access once removed. Plus you shouldn't be tightening just one bolt.

Not sure what you mean by I shouldn't be tightening just one bolt. I am not . I am loosening them. There are like four or five but one of them seems like there might be something in the way..anyway not a problem because I have an idea on how to get it done. I will get it sealed.: just need some new oil and filter so I can take the filter out. Good time for an oil change anyway!!))))

It's actually pretty straight forward if you need to reseal you timing cover. Move stuff out of the way, unbolt eight bolts, pop off cover, reseal 1mm width around cover, install cover torque 5nm.

Did you have to clean the old seal off? What did you use to reseal?
