No worries at all Rantanplan, glad to help.

Yup, as Stephen has said...a leak up there for long enough can almost cover the entire engine.

I would suggest you start with the cam cover gaskets since the plug/coil galley leak is most certainly from there, give her a good clean, then observe from there if there are any other leaks.

Less to worry about in washing the engine as these have a water cooled alternator and is swimming in water already lol!

As TiAg said, it would be a good time to paint those cam covers as well as they are probably peeling by now!

I did it with VHT muffler paint and didnt look nearly as good as that as it was a rush job.

TiAg, nice job on the covers man!
