Oil leak on cambelt!b clio 182

[182-RS]

Hi all I noticed some oil on the drive so after an hour of looking around the engine I took the cam cover off and appears to be coming from the camshaft oil seals and is dripping a bit of oil over the cambelt! Does this mean I’m going to need to do a cambelt change again? They were only done in 2021 thanks in advance

Yes.

Did they change the seals when it was done? It's part of the job as the pulleys run against the seals.

I don’t know I didn’t have it done myself

Sounds cheap to me.

Just make sure you're getting everything including the seals.

I hope they don't mean the caps for the other end of the cams 😅
