GL450 Cylinder Head Front Cover
I was told a leak was probably the cylinder head front cover. I thought they meant the valve cover which looked like a lot of work. After looking further, it doesn't look like too big of a job. Couple questions:
1. I don't see a gasket on the drawings, is it just a sealer. What sealer is it, I'd like to order it online.
2. Sounds like I should also replace the bolts, P/N?
3. I cleaned everything pretty good and it looks like the oil might be coming from around the Cam Magnet. Is that a possibility? What is the seal behind that?

2. Yes replace the bolts, they are aluminum single use very low torque spec. Buy from the dealer.
3. Possible. Try messaging @crconsulting as he recently replaced sensors.
