Thread Sealant Front Cover.

[looseboost]

Got my car started sounded great however during my break in procedure i noticed a fairly large drip of oil from the front cover area, when i get home today i will remove the timing cover and inspect for leaks, additionally a friend made me aware that several bolts on a 6bolt engine front cover should have thread sealant on the bolts as they enter a oil jacket, i was only aware of 1, I did search and could only come up with results for a 2g 7bolt, is there a way someone could help me by verifiying which bolts on the front cover should have thread sealant on them. also this is an oem front cover. thanks in advance.

Why wouldn't you just put it on all of them if you're not sure. There are only a few bolts to the cover. Also, put it on the tensioner bolts and bearing bolts. Torque them properly and there won't be an issue.

You can use this as a guide if your not sure.
