Camshaft seal leaking

[Mathew Zelezen]

Do you need to remove the engine to replace the "camshaft seal" (my title, its the seal that goes around the main pulley) My 86 Syncro leaves a couple drops of oil on the ground after a normal drive. Doesn't look like a lot of room in there

If it is leaking around the fan belt pulley, could be pump is leaking or oil pres switch. Try getting in there and tightening things first. Actually clean 1st then tighten.
