pearlm30 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 95 EJ22 with a lot of oil stain. The one in question is leaking from the left rear camshaft end cap(black in color). How do I replace this end cap to stop the oil leak??? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Point of clarification--when you say "left rear" do you mean the driver's side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Since a 95 wouldn't have a black cap on the passenger side..... Yeah. Anyway you pry it out and replace it. It's just like any other oil seal. They are about $6. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 clean them really well and use your finger to generously press quality sealant around the perimeter and you're done forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 That's what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 clean them really well and use your finger to generously press quality sealant around the perimeter and you're done forever. This is what I did a few years ago and have not had an issue since. Not the prettiest fix but it works a treat Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember feeling like I didn't like it while I'm doing it...I had to tell myself - seriously this is so dumb to even think about on this car - how many of these have you stared at after the fact your entire life!?

Fairtax4me Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I didn't like smearing RTV on the seam between the head and the block on a tractor to stop a major oil leak coming from the head gasket... But it worked... And saved me, at least for the time being, from having to yank the cylinder head off a 35 year old Diesel engine to put a head gasket on it... 0.o So yeah. If it looks too difficult to replace, clean the pudge out of it and goop some RTV on there. Ultra grey works awesome. So does permatexs' new ATF pan sealant.
