Ever since i got the Fastback running i had a small oil leak from the front seal, it was embarassing leaving oil drips on AED's floor while dynotuning. I finally got the nerve to tear apart the car and fix it. HUGE Pain in the ass but so far no leaks, i put an oil slinger infront of the timing chain behind the cover to help sling the oil away from the seal. Heres some pics

Timing chain cover off

Back together, no leaks so far. Still polishing everything back up.
