Hi all
Is it necessary to drain the oil to fix a timing cover oil leak?
Is it necessary to use a gasket or can you just use three bond?
What sort of torque is reqired on the bolts?
Thanks for your replies

No you don't drain the oil.
Yes you should use a new gasket, and gasket cement..
The leak is 99% bound to be the front oil seal, so fit a new one.
Torque? ummmmm... VERY gentle on the small (1/4" UNF) ones...
:lol:
