Plan to do tbelt c/o later this week. Have o-ring and seal for cam.
Would appreciate any suggestions on changing the oil seal and o-ring, as there is a small oil leak from that area.
90 325i.

Thanks... T

It's pretty straight forward. nothing special that I can remember. Been a number of years though.
You need an torx socket for the cam pulley bolts. the seal housing may be stuck a little so work it off gently. pay attention to the depth of the seal as installed in the housing.
helps to take some fine emery cloth to the seal area on the cam to clean it up a bit.
