Do the 960's have problems with rear cam seals leaks?
I picked up a 960 last night and I think it has a decent leak on the back of the motor. It's getting on the exhaust so I don't think it's a RMS. Do these cars have problems with rear cam seals leaking? If so, how hard are they to change?

I guess you could say they do, the exhaust side seems to dry and harden from the heat on that side. The intake side usually does not have one, the black cover is sealed with some rtv silicon and takes care of that.
To replace, there is not much room to work and having the press tool would be helpful. I find getting the old one out more difficult than getting it back in.
I do not have the tool, but was lucky enough to find a bearing race from some construction equipment that was just the right sizes, inner and outer and depth that can be used to push the new seal into the space.
A mirror comes in handy too.
