Hey!!
Back at my oil leak project.
My leak appears to be behind the timing cover backing plate right above where the oil pan joins the block on the drivers side. Hopefully what I’ll find when I remove backing plate is a gap in the gasket.
My question to all of those in the know-based on the pic below do I remove all the fasteners that I can see? The FSM doesn’t show a lot of bolts on this and there are three recessed fasterners with torx inserts-do I remove these along with the bolts holding the cam thrust plate along with the remaining two hex head bolts? Or do the torx head bolts remain?
And I’m removing this are there things that will be exposed I need to be careful with?
If it’s not obvious where the leak is I might go ahead and remove the pan and put a new gasket on that.
Thanks!
Bri
