What did I do wrong? Oil going from camshafts



vjs

  Clio 172
I just installed Engine Dynamic Racing cams, started the engine happy, revved few minutes. After found under the car an oil appr 1-2 liters out on floors. Trying to find where it came from, got it went from one of one of or both camshafts. All cam-belt compartment was in oil. I suppose I put the wrong seal or???
Seams I must find out by myself wtf happened. I just share my bad luck.

Bought on eBay an OEM Renault kit a second ago... Same seller: Reanault Wolverhampton

Seems s**t happened I installed both seals 34x57x5.5 mm... Ok, at least I heard the sound of the engine after 1 year :)))))
So the seal with a smaller hole (28x47x5.5 mm) goes on dephaser side or?

Can't remember. Could be the reason as well... Will make pics when cover and pulleys are out.

Another thing to watch is the bungs at the box end. The cams stick out further and you can get contact. (Seperate issue but worth checking)
