Cam seal leak help
95 Neon SOHC
I recently used dye to detect an oil leak around the cam seal.
I replaced the cam seal (which was spinning losely around the pulley) with no issuess, as well as the timing belt.
Guess what? It's leaking again! Not as bad however. I can see the new seal is still in the head by prying back the timing belt cover ever-so-slightly.
Any hints/trick/gotcha's about replacing these cam seals?
Could it be leaking from anywhere else? The leak is definitely on the passenger side (front of engine) behind/around the timing belt cover and dripping down fairly quickly.
Thanks for your help.
