Oil leak behind cap

looked like 67k on the cover could be more could be less who knows car seems to run fine other than the leaking seal

Runs fine, are you making a joke? If one of the parts in the timing belt group goes, the top half of the engine goes. And the car will run totally fine until the instant that happens.

No wasn't my intent but if it does go that solves whether to fix it or not huh

Taking it in on Tuesday defiantly losing oil around the seal if I can afford the timing belt and pvc just depends on what he tells me Robin is a straight up guy has been working on my stuff for 25 years.

Should be two hours labour plus part

Ummm I don't think so, no way. The timing belt job alone might be 2 hours (I would actually expect 3), but PCV will be probably 3 more book hours. So are like 5 total.

Missed PCV, 5 hours is right.

I only ran my 99 belt 30% past interval, this guy is really a risk taker ....

Well, don't know for sure if it was 67 k like I said I bought it used in 2011 for 2200 I haven't had to put that much into it so I can't complain.I had an 87 Suzuki Samurai that popped a belt at 80k so I am aware of the damage I had to put in another engine.It's not a matter of being a risk taker it's a matter of time and funds.
