205 camshaft seals??

[nickipug89]

Hiya

My little pug 205 has got a leak, i've been told its the camshaft seal. Ok fair enough its leaking on the cam belt side, BUT its also leaking on the other side of the engine (dizzy side) i didn't think the camshaft seal could leak that side?

What do you think?

Im also going to replace the rocker cover gasket as its not looking the best.

Any ideas i'd be great-full!

It depends on the car and engine and location of the dizzy (ie, is it driven directly off the cam) but this lot notwithstanding many engines have seals at both ends of the cam.

Cool, yea the dizzie is driven directly off the cam, does this mean there is a seal at both ends? I have just this second replaced the rocker cover gasket and cleaned up the head so will see if leaks!

there is also a seal behind the dizzy. its just a little oring though nothing major.
