Oil Leak at Camshaft Timing Controler
Looks like the sealant at the assembly blew out under the exhuast camshaft timer and now my oil is leaking. Anyone know what the repair bill on this will be? They will probably need to take the engine apart and reseal. To comfort ya'll, I'm boosted at 71k miles on my car.

I've been putting off getting the dealer to look at mine in an attempt to find others with this issue. Mine is on the other side but looks exactly the same. Are you sure its not actually leaking at the timing cover/block mating surface? Perhaps the dirt on the timing cover is just missing on the "bottom" of the curves due to gravity as opposed to it being washed off by the oil?
I know the dealers typically remove the engine to do the timing cover, not sure about the sensor.

Check this TSB:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=187 Y don't you just trade it in for something else? Or maybe for a new '15 if you like it that much. |

You sure it isn't oil blown out of that breather filter?

@Cal3000 are you still driving it? That really sucks, I noticed leaking on my car on the opposite side of yours, and on only at 28k miles. 3k miles are with the avo kit.

Discovered oil running out from underneath my car while it was raining. Ran papertowel underneath cam plate and there was some burned oil there. Going to make a call to dealership and see what they'll do.

Planning to take it to a local tune shop. I told them the issue and they quotes me at $300 for the fix which I think is pretty cheap compared to what the dealer might charge.
