the spark plug o rings on the passenger side cam covers have started leaking. is there something that might have caused this, a vibration?or something else . i have owned the 92 for 3 years and have never taken them off . thanx to rick for guiding me on its removal. also is there anything to ck while its off ????

Re: cam cover ????
Did you check the bolts for tightness? I have run across a few that have some how backed out on their own.

Brad, two things you may want to look at while you're under there.
The chain guide strips in the cam cover, and there is a breather filter where the aluminum tube comes from that maybe falling apart. Tom
