Oil leak on front cam seal?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I was looking at the pics the shop took while my BRZ was getting repaired and I noticed that one of my cam-end-covers (?) is darker than the other three, looks like there is some oil leaking in that area. Has anyone else had issues in that arear? Or on one of the other ones?

Pretty common issue. Had my car get fix under warranty. It has TSB for it for oil leak in few areas.

Yes, all too common place for an oil leak.

Why was your car in the shop .. ??

Yep.
Here is the TSB for the most common.

Cool, thanks guys, I will check it out. I took a look at it and it seems pretty light, there is nothing on the under panel and nothing is actually wet.

Ya I don't think I would even worry about trying to fix that. Just clean it up and see if it comes back.

I have a few months left on my warranty, so I think that is what I am going to do. If it comes back, I will have them deal with it.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. Mine is leaking same place as OP as well as the passenger side cam cover I think. Cleaned it all up and paying more attention to oil consumption to figure out how bad it really is.

Mine is a late MY13, sold June 29, 2013 and only had 3k on it when I bought it in January 2016...so I still have some left

humfrz

it was there before all of that (grimy dirty buildup), I just hadn't noticed since it isn't dripping down on anything. And nothing got pushed back into the front of the engine, the engine sits so low in these things it stayed under the affected area. My Perrin tube did get cut by my top pulley/belt, but there's barely any clearance there to begin with.

Place over the leak(s).

Tape into place.

Change once per month.

There ya go!
