Hi,
I know oil leaks on a 40 year old engine are not unusual butI think I've got to try and fix this one, both for reliability and the fact it can easily drip onto the exhaust!

The banjo union that feeds the left hand chain tensioner leaks under pressure, I've replaced the washers and the complete pipe but still it leaks.
Now I think my next step should be to remove the timing chain cover and replace the 'o' ring behind the union - but whoever had it apart last believed in adhesive! So removing the cover is likely to be a long and arduous job (hence not resorting to garages - specialist or otherwise). Does anybody have any suggestions, miracle cures etc..

TB
