I was at the Subi dealer yesterday and happened to bump into the regional tech rep for Subi and asked the question about the cover leak.
He said that they still recommend the factory cover but have a new tech bulletin on the install and a new adhesive to be used. |

Forgot too update you guys. Dealership said leak was coming from the timing cover. They re-sealed timing cover, for the 2nd time. I really hope this time is fixed, for sure.

Just got my car back last night from the dealer after 3 days for a timing cover reseal. Service advisor said the tech stated some sealant may have dropped onto the exhaust manifold and there would be some smoke until it burns off, but he didn't sound very confident. The smoke is coming from the passenger side and the smell is pretty strong. How common is the smoke after a timing cover reseal? @adrianfrs How is your car doing after a couple of months? On a side note, I notice the same black gunk on the bottom cam plate after driving the car home. I did not check this area before dropping it off, it slipped my mind and assumed that with the timing cover coming off they would at least inspect the rest of the engine?

After a second trip to the dealership, they stated they were going to look at the Subaru service bulletin I printed from this forum. Initially called and said they were going to replace the valve cover gasket. After opening up the engine, turns out I had a "hairline" crack in the valve cover. I don't know enough to even think about how this could happen internally. My only engine mods is a Perrin CAI and Perrin CBE. So far no smoke or awful smell, will keep an eye on it and hope for the best.
Thank you to everyone on the forum for posting their experience as it has prove to be priceless help. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

The FR-S is the first newish car I've had in a long time. When I first perused the engine, I was concerned that it didn't have the same protective black grimy coating most of my previous cars had. I felt some small measure of relief when I noticed the protective coating oozing from what I can only gather was the factory installed dispensing device on the bottom of the cam plate cover, but for some reason the dealership felt it necessary to seal that, too. Oh well.
