weird oil leak
weird oil leak
There is actually 2 messed up oil leaks.
1. I have OTVC plug wires. I had to get longer bolts to support the looms. There is oild leaking from the bolts, is there a proper fix? Or just some kind of Rtv?
2. The timing chain cover bolts are leaking, is this this a common problem? Is it ok to torque down the bolts? or pull them out and thread seal them or somethin? i dont understand why bolts would leak
Appreciate any input.

This is all the clearance you need:

Aside from that, I have the otvc kit as well and as long as you tighten the bolts down good they don't leak - mine haven't anyway.
As far as the other bolts, you can try to give them another turn or so until they're at the proper torque spec. I've never had a bolt leak so I can't tell you.
I will say that when I had a leaky seal (the one that went behind the water pump, where it's a bitch to get on without breaking), it would leak, and the fans would blow the oil all over, making it look like things that weren't leaking really were.
