Cool Oil leak from under top cover of motor

Hello, all.

I'm new here, having just bough a 1995 960 with 131K miles. Runs great. But, there is oil dripping out from under the plastic "24 Valve" plastic cover. I removed the cover, cleaned up the oil, replaced the rubber O-ring at the oil filler cap and the leak is still there. See picture I lifted from a previous thread that might have been the same problem.

Any ideas where the oil is coming from?

Cheers,

Dave

Default Oil leak fixed

Hello, all.

The source of the oil leak I wrote about above turned out to be a stripped cam cover bolt. The fix was to install a new bolt with Locktite on it. Fortunately, there were enough threads left in the head to hold it.

Cheers,

Dave
