Default Cam adjuster seals are leaking in the 99 Sedan. Is there a write-up anywhere?

I STFA, checked Stoney's links, and checked the AW tech section. Anyone?

just did them on my 2000 cheap part but a PINA to get at. Do the tb and wp while your in there if you haven't done it or it's close to the time.

Thanks. 60k on the TB. I was going to do it this Spring at 75K, but gotta do it sooner :-(

Default I've got a good TB post for you.

Also, are you aware of the "suck pump" issue that causes cam seal leaks? When I replaced mine, it was certainly clogged, was probably only a matter of time until the cam seals leaked.

Default Suck Pump thread is very interesting. Thanks!

I think I will buy one of those tomorrow. I can swap it out one night this week.

Thanks also for the TB stuff, but that's a BTDT for me. (BTW, I also own the crank lock and cam tool - I loan them out locally in CT if anyone needs them.)
