Hey guys,
Got a 2004 S130 with 2700 hours and have just noticed some oil leaking from the front chaincase cover. Have cleaned it and went to remove the cover only to find the gasket is in multiple pieces. My first thought is to remove and replace the gasket but there is no way I can remove the 2 front bolts as they clash with the main frame. Am I missing something? It has obviously been leaking water as the oil is very milky also.
I only see 2 options - Strip the thing down and repair this and a couple other small issues, do some rust repair and repaint (was hoping to do this later in the year anyway), or gasket goo and RTV the cover up, replace the oil and just monitor it...
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
