My 2.5 v6 mig has a slight oil leak, coming from the camshaft covers. i am trying to get the camshaft cover seaks but everywhere only does them in packs with all gaskets (£150+vat) does anyone know of anywhere or can get hold of camshaft cover seals on there own?

cheers ANDY

they are sold in packs for a reason, if you replace the cover gasket, the rest need to be replaced too 

[andy broon]

cheers tunnie, next question does anyone know of anywhere that is cheaper than that?

when it comes to cam cover gaskets, always buy geniune. Use TC card to get them cheaper, do not be tempted by cheaper pattern ones, they won't last, and you will be re-doing them, within a very short amount of time.

Also use black sealant, see the guide for part numbers

ye i know all about that (i am i mechanic) just the cost was a bit much atm i dont mind if u have to change it, just need cheaper because i have insurance tax badly need fuel and a idiot on a bike damaged my can so all that needs sorted the end of this month.

I'd suggest you PM andyc here. He works for a dealer so supplies genuine parts. I don't think he quoted me that sort of money for the gaskets etc

These were for the 3.2 but I think they are the same for the 2.5
