leaking plastic caps

[Steve Morse <jiffyheart@xxxxxxxxx>]

"well my oilhead leaks at one of those cam chain
adjustment plastic caps 
even after a new gasket was installed... "


A buddy of mine works at the local BMW dealership. He
tells me that the leak is caused by the parting line
in the molded plastic cover. He removes the cover and
files off the mold mark = no leak. I replaced my
covers with some prettier billet ones - for looks not
because they leaked (they didn't leak).

Cheers!
