850 t5 Oil Leak OSF cross member

[merc85]

Hi there, i seem to have a Oil leak, the Driver's side front cross member is covered in it.

It's engine oil and i noticed the oil level had dropped to halfway on the dipstick after 1,500 miles.

Gearbox side seems dry, i'm think front crankseal, is this Possible PCV was dont 2k ago, but i am running 17psi i'm thinking the extra boost is cursing extra crankcase presure.

Easy job? any ideas?

Check your spark plug cover and cam seals as these leaking tend to drop oil were your on about.

As Alan said the cam seals would be the the first place to check just remove the timing cover
