Oil leak
I've been getting a persistent oil leak for some time. It would appear to be coming from the cam covers on both sides; the sub-frame on both sides is covered in oil. I've replaced the cam cover gaskets but it is still happening. I'm going to replace them again but is there anything else that could leak, especially at the back of the engine? Also, what are the torque settings for the cover bolts?
Thanks Steve

It would appear the cam shaft oil seals are the problem. I've changed the rear seals on one side and will do the other side next weekend. The front seals I will change I next replace the timing chain. About a year from now I reckon.
