Also, WIS shows the use of sealant (1.5mm bead around the mating surfaces), and you can buy MB gasket sealant. Has anyone used sealant when replacing the valve cover gaskets? If yes, did you use the MB stuff?
Hi guys, just tackled the same oil leak as you have described as above, Oil seeping from the Right Hand bank towards the fire wall. The previous owner/garage already tried a cheap fix before us with gasket sealer along the bottom edge of the cam cover. A bit of inspection in that area has found a hairline crack on the area that the oil was seeping through as well as flat spots on the original gasket. So it would be worth noting for anyone who has the same issue in future to check for cracks on the plastic cover 😁👍
I had the same hairline crack! So hard to spot without taking off.
Replaced both covers as they come as a
kit, new bolts and seals.
