Hey guys, I just finished my cam swap a little while ago and there is a very small amount of oil that is leaking after i stop the car and let it sit after driving it. When I changed the oil it was a little more full than it should be but I don't think thats the problem, I think that one of the seals in the timing cover may be leaking(either water pump drive seal or opti seal).

My question is how much do you think a shop would charge to replace those seals? I just don't feel like tearing everything apart again cause that stupid hub was a pain. Thanks guys

 

I would put my money on water pump seal, but unless the leak is on the crank seal or timing cover to block, you won't have to take the hub off.

 

Well its definitely not on the crank seal and it doesn't appear to be the timing cover either especially since there is oil on the bottom of the opti which is why I figured that it was either the opti seal or water pump seal. Well if its the water pump seal maybe I will just replace that one myself cause that isn't too hard.

Can I get a new seal at autozone or something that you know of? If not where can I get just that one seal because I got the seal in a kit from combination when I ordered my cam and stuff.

Thanks again

 

You should be able to buy all the separate seals most anywhere.

 

Hmmm, I can't seem to find it on neither autozone's nor advanced websites. Maybe I just don't know what they call it to look it up or something, but I can't find anything.

 

Well, guess you can always go to the dealer.
