cam cover gasket DIY

[phillipj]

I posted this question before so I apologize.

I have a 99 996 with 67k.

Has anyone replaced (DIY) their cam cover gaskets? If so, is it labor intensive? Is it something I can do myself or should I have the shop do it?

My drivers side cam cover is leaking and seems to be getting worse.

Upon visual inspection it seems like I could do it myself.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Are you sure it is the cam cover and not the cam actuator?

When you remove the cam cover the cams need to be held in place.

Loren,

I'll take a pic of the leak and post it.

Thanks for the reply

Try cleaning all the oil off the area first - then drive the car and inspect to see where it is really coming from.

Loren,

I'll do that.
