Oil leak coming from passenger side
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone,

I have found oil on the passenger side of the header bolt. Pictures are shown below! Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks! My guess is the cam plate!

Yep, I'd start by resealing/replacing the cam plate (if your car has a MT).

I would spray it clean and start monitoring it closely to find out exactly where is it coming from before doing any work.

Could be the front timing chain cover. I have a similar leak on the driver's side caused by that cover.

Looking at the pictures, it seems more like it's coming from the passenger rear, rather than the front. My vote goes to cam seal.

It is the valve cover! I am going to call dealership tomorrow and make an appointment. FYI I still have a warranty!

Some people have all the luck. I discovered mine leaking three weeks after the warranty expired. :mad0259:

Nope. The leak is really slow, so I'm just gonna ignore it for now.

Me too. Haven't had oil on the garage floor in a week of steady driving and no noticeable drop on the dipstick. I'll drop the pan in another week or so and see what I've got.
