Greg, I don't know if this is your problem, but my timing cover
was leaking after I replaced my chain tensioner. I realized I
just hadn't tightned the bolts enough, gave them another half
twist and everything has been fine since.

Hi all,

I've identified an oil leak coming from the timing chest cover
on my
Ambo (not the belt cover, but the timing chest cover itself).
I've
already ordered new gaskets from MG Cycle, but I'm wondering
if there is
any other advice someone might be able to offer on getting
this leak
sealed up. Use gasket sealer? Use two gaskets stacked? Any
bolt holes to
plug? Thanks!
