Clifford Pope Not an expert but ... Last Online: Today 07:00 Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Boncath	Mystery Oil Leak - solved? Cleaning out the blockage in the flame trap pipe made no difference, so last night I investigated the cam oil seal. It was new 38,000 miles ago, but I found it had twisted sideways in its housing and the circular spring had become detached. With a new seal it now seems OK. I was surprised that there seems to be nothing much to hold the seal squarely in place, other than being gently nipped by the tightened bearing housing. Is there supposed to be a spacer between the cam sprocket and the oil seal?
