Hi,
My 1997 216Si has been leaking oil from the top right side of the engine (opposite side to distributor cap) for a few months now. A mate of mine took a look and reckons the exhaust camshaft oil seal needs replacing. Now my intial thought is its probably a job for a garage as i'm not experienced (or brave) enough to mess with the camshaft.
However I've noticed from some posts here that you can actually replace the oil seal by just yanking the old one out and tapping the new one in. Is it really that easy?
Cheers,
Dom
