Greg, Along with the seal, don't for get to check/replace the timing chain tensioner. (If you haven't replaced it allready) The stamped steel tensioner that's stock is subject to break at the base. I replaced mine with a nylon block model. Greg

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!
Regards,
Greg Bender
