Camshaft leak

Posted by HAL on September 13, 1998 at 07:05:15

I have a leak where my camshaft meets the flywheel housing that I can not stop. I have tried 2 gaskets, gasket sealer and nothing stops the leak. It only leaks when I shut the car off mainly after it has idled for a while.
I originally thought as you are probably thinking that the rear main was leaking but when I take a rag and screwdriver up behind the crank flange it is completely dry in that area I also checked the clearance and only have .001 which should be good.
Anyone have any ideas on how to stop the leak, I don't mind a couple drips but this is a small puddle. Thanks
