Still in my engine-out job. So, I was past the point where I had sealed the cam covers up, and even before putting the engine back in, there was some oil leaking so I was like �wow, I must have done a pretty bad job�. Luckily I took a picture prior to sealing it (the picture is of the bad job). You can see where I went off the path near the bottom and sprang a leak. What�s worse is, when I opened it back up, I noticed a lot of the small oil capillaries have sealant blocking them, so I am sure as hell glad I decided to redo this. I feel like I need to ask this: how much sealant should I put and what�s the right technique around the holes that are around the camshafts? They seem to be the most critical. Pic attached of what you SHOULDN�T do.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
