i will be diong that asap now

 

If your geting oil on the drive you must have a bad leak, I used new gaskets when i did mine and had a very very slight leak, so had to use some gasket sealer.

Make sure you get a heat + oil resistant seal. Keep the old gasket on if it aint "in to bad nick" and put a good layer all around + where your plugs go.

Should do the trick, aint a hard job takes about 10mins.

 

yeh, if its a small leak you may get away with nipping the bolts up and smuging some gasket sealer around the bottom.

 

Don't be tempted to nip up the cover bolts, they are shouldered and may shear. (By al means check that they are not loose tho)

Best fix, usually permanent.
Remove cover
Clean gaskets and mating faces
Apply thin smear RTV sealant both sides of gasket and refit
Smear RTV around the bolt rubbers and nip up.

That should hold it. Worked on 3 out of 4 of my Scoobs

 

i went to halfords and bought some loctite gasket sealant and removed cover cleaned the surfaces used old gasket which looked ok and used the sealant on top of gasket then refitted and ran car it looks like it has done the job just washed what oil i could of were it had been leeking and now looks bone dry now so fingers crossed job done.

 

Good for you, just saved yourself a small fortune

 

im hopeing its job done and am glad i done it incase it sparked of a fire
