The bolt is M6 x 12mm, the same as used to hold the nearby pipe brackets. |

I also have oil on the right side of the engine and burned oil smell.

I took out the plenum to have a look at the oil cooler and I dont see any leaks there and it looks like someone has been there before.

How much oil are you using? It’s not uncommon for v8 to leak around the cam covers. I have a v8 merc and they are notorious for it. I tied to fix mine and only one side worked. It hardly uses any oil so I live with it. The only annoying thing is the burning when oil falls on the exhaust manifold.

Yes, I’m not saying it is that leaking on yours but it is a common leak on v8’s and usually ends up burning on the manifolds.

I think mine is leaking on the RH side.

No problem. You may be correct, perhaps in the meantime get a quote.

Yes, I saw that 3.6 video and got happy as he didn’t have to remove injectors.
