Front or rear cam seal?

They are kind of a pain to do.

Have you ever done a timing belt?

so he just said it has a leak on the exhaust side? how fast are you loosing oil? you can get thepremade gaskets at any auto parts store or just get the uncut ones and make your own which would be cheaper, but you have to find out exactly where the leak is coming from because it could be a main seal which is a real pain or it could be just the oil pan gasket which is pretty simple
