[QUOTE="jpjeep26uk, post: 437569, member: 20690"] It's damaged. A previous PO has bolted it on too tight and three or four of the holes that the bolts go through are snapped in half so only minimal pressure in those areas to the block so the oil is seeping out. Two holes are totally gone so the cover is only being pulled down to the block by the remaining bolts. I replaced the seal in Nov and the cover was clotted with a foul thick layer of goo and carbon. But its on its last legs and oil is seeping onto the manifolds and burning. Really need to replace but they are like hens teeth! [/QUOTE]
