Oil Leak from Chain Tensioner
« on: January 21, 2009, 12:12:26 PM »
I have a slow, steady leak from my chain tensioner cap.  It's as tight as it needs to be... I think it may have been overtightened in the past.  Anyhow, what can I do to stop the leak?  Will teflon tape work?

Change the metal gasket if it has been over tightened. It also leaks if its not there.
