    Hello,

    Have this oil coming out the timing cover.  

    Not a large amount by any stretch.

    Wondering if this is indicative of a larger issue or just a plain oil leak around the timing cover that I can sort out at some point in the future.

    If gasket issue, is there a gasket to purchase or some type of preferred RTV or…?

    Any thoughts are appreciated.  

    Thank you as usual,

    J

    OIL SWEAT  —-  G0 fishing but do worry about the last time you properly serviced your, by far, the  highest maintenance part of the engine –Your aftercooler .
