I'd just really like to find an aftermarket replacement for this leaky bastrd. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or maybe an idea to get this cam seal to stop its leak. It doesn't gush. just drips and makes a mess, it's more irritating than anything. Any Suggestion would be appreciated.

You're talking about the cam seal on the tranny side of the engine, the black plastic one, right? Skunk2 makes a d-series one that should fit. If not, pop that one out, check the o-ring on it to see if its dorked up or not. You could always clean it really well, run a bead of black RTV around it, pop the seal back in and let it set overnight and it should be fine.

Yeah I tried the RTV,...it lasted maybe 2 days, I think the oil just deteriorates it, but the Skunk2 seal, that sounds like a great solution.
