I was getting the code for a non functional exhaust cam reading, ie. sensor, solenoid, or some special mechanics lack of understanding of bolt torque.The exhaust cam sensor was leaking oil from its cover, a clue! So I go through the nightmare of getting to the cam sensing sensor to find the two torx bolts holding it were at 35 foot pounds to remove the cracked cover. It was taking 80 foot pounds to get the bolt outs of the aluminum side cover! So a new sensor and cover should fix that.
In the same area where there was the oil leak from the sensor, there is also a small coolant drip. Should I be looking at the turbo coolant lines or other nefarious sources?
It took me less time to strip a 245 to the frame and rebuild it than this car is taking me to fix... I'm blaming the previous person using the wrenches, a mechanic he could not be!
Any thoughts on coolant drip?
