So i just got done with my timing belt change and i was doing this as my valve stem seals was leaking,

i also replaced the cam seals , crank seal, oil pump seal and balance shaft seal, they all was installed as to the manual and i put oil on the outer of the seal then tapped it in so all was level and could not go any further checked before i put all the pullys back on.

Then i start it up and let it all idle to warm up as i had to install new coolant and then i check for leaks, i find a few small drips under the car on the card i put under there, i see its dripping from the lower section of the timing belt cover and looks like its to both sides,

My OFH gasket is leaking a bit and i know this so ive ruled that out as its not that bad, so is my option to take the covers off and check the seals? I dont know what else to do as they all looked to be installed good and nothing caught anywhere,

If anyone has any helpful hints or tricks then please let me know as im stuck, they wont go any further in so i hope someone can help!
