I RTVd the bottom mating surface with a tiny thin bead and then touched up the 8 points that need more (edges and molded edges). It seemed to hold great, no oil leaks. I did see some slight drippage on passenger side on a belt by the timing belt. Don't know if that was old built up oil that liquified with the heat of the running engine or if there is another area I need to investigate. Any gaskets that may leak around timing belt? The timing belt and water pump had been replaced before I purchased car, maybe 2 years prior. I am going to degrease and keep a watchful eye to see if there is a leak, but any help on what to keep an eye on will be appreciated.
