Can't answer that question long distance. A couple things to check before you clean anything. Is the valve cover leaking and draining down the rear of the head and block? Is the there any leaking from the cam angle sensor? The CAS is on the passenges rear side of the head at the rear end of the cam. Me not being there I would replace the crank oil seal and the o-ring for the CAS.
For a comfort level, do you have a knowledgeable car guy friend. An experience someone to look over your shoulder laways makes for a feel good.
Hi Frank,
Thanks for the heads up. No, unfortunately i dont have anyone near by that can look over my shoulder. These last few days have been quite an exploratory process. I'm been navigated by the input provided by you guys (which i really cant thank everyone enough for).
I did a fluroescence test a few months ago. Some of the residue definetly stayed with the oil pan gasket. This could be because the gasket material soaked up the dye or it could just be that the oil pan gasket is what needs to be replaced. I did also see reminants of the dye within the flywheel holes and exactly at the 7:00 mark that you guys pointed out.
I did not see any dye near the CAS but i also havent really looked. I was a dumbass and cleaned the CAS and everything after taking pictures under the black light. I'll post the black light photos in a few minutes.
