Pro tip on any seal that has a spring that keeps pressure on a shaft. Remove spring from seal. Find joint in spring. Clip a few coils off spring. Rescrew spring back together and put back on seal lip. Presto. It now has more spring tension to help seal better. Obviously this isn't a cure all but has worked for me many times. Thanks Ron Flood!!

I’ve fixed this problem. Get a seal with a smaller OD and epoxy it in place then put the balancer on. It will find its right place and the epoxy will harden up. Pull the balancer and epoxy the seal in. Fixed. No pulling the front cover. I did a cross Atlantic trip in a sailboat and the forward gear leaked the fluid out halfway across. When we got to the first port they didn’t have the correct seal. One a mil smaller OD. I glued it in and it never leaked again. Got to where we were going and the new owner was happy that I fixed it. It still hasn’t leaked.

I'd say the timing cover is somehow "off-center". Unless someone removed the 'locating-dowls/pins" I don't see how that would happen. I've ran across this issue before (not on a Land Rover, but...)and what I did was loosened the oil pan and drop it down, because it was for the Used Car Department of Dealership that worked for at the time. Customer needed the car to go on vacation, we couldn't get a new front cover before the following Wednesday, it was Thursday and the customer wanted to leave Friday. We could get the oil pan gasket kit, so I dropped the pan, centered front cover on the installed crank pulley and snugged the cover up, and Torqued it into place, reinstalled the oil pan and no leaks.😎

Most timing covers have dowels. To make this fit you may have to actually remove the dowels and maybe oversize the bolt holes a bit. Then replace the seals and put the damper pulley on before tightening the cover down.

As an engine builder for some years now, I learned this the hard way, and I do the same thing with the blue dye, which I use on a lot of different things, valves, rear end gears etc. I also use the smoke test because it’s incredibly easy and quite revealing ,because you never take anything for granted in this business .love your show and good luck with the TV production. I hope it works out because I’m into it Quite frankly, it’s about time they had programming for engine builders… Lol… Keep on rockin

yea bro you don’t spell Toyota (Ford) or Tundra (F150). Ford F150 will never touch a Toyota Tundra in reliability. Never.

Most people are smart enough not to throw good money after bad fixing a 20 year old junk. Especially a Rover. The repairs exceed the value.

A cars value is only relevant when you're selling it. If you sell it you have to replace it, unless you buy the same vehicle it's going to cost more money, it costs money to drive whether it's new or old. Why buy something you don't know if it's going to last when you know your own cars history.

@ernsailor9041 I try to tell people to buy what you can afford, and what you can pay off in 3 years. Rarely does anyone listen to me. I take my own advice and it seems to work for me. I bought new, took excellent care of it, and after 263K and 15 years later, it was time for a new one.

Just find a seal that has a slightly smaller center diameter. But still fits the casing. Otherwise. It's little more complicated.

Dave, I was honest to God thinking earlier this morning that I wish you would make a video covering this very same topic. Lo and behold I found it. Well, part one anyway. My daughter was given an immaculately cared for Lexus ES 300 (2001) by her grandfather who bought in brand new. Always garage kept. Service regular. Only has a little over 100,000 miles on it. Not a single crack or wear mark in the any of the leather seats. Even the headlights and taillight covers look show room new. However, it has developed an oil leak and I came to the conclusion that it was the oil pan. Changed it out twice and still leaked. Used RTV the first two times and discovered that Toyota make a special gasket sealant and a promptly ordered some. It is on the ramps as I write this with the draining out. Upon further investigation I seem to think that the crank seal is leaking because if it was just the oil pan it wouldn’t have oil under neath the alternator. I could be mistaken because the pressure can make liquids do some unusual things. Am I correct in my thinking? If you or anyone would care to add their experience I would greatly appreciate the time and effort. God Bless

I had a 70 1/2, Z/28 that had an oil leak on the front end of the motor. My brother and I did everything to locate this leak. We noticed that the timing change had loosened up and worn a small hole in the cover. There was just enough dirt on the cover that so it didn't stand out. We felt lucky to have found that leak.

It’s a Land Rover, living up to its reputation. 99% of mechanics would not know the actual cause, the fix or have the equipment to perform it.
