Hi Guys (y)

Hoping you can help! I have a leak from the cover that sits on the passenger side of the head, coming off the inlet camshaft, I believe the Vectra has it's powersteering pump mounted here?

Anyways I have tried to find the seal that lives inside, but struggleing to find anywhere that sells this seal and annoyingly we don't have a Vauxhall parts department here in Lincoln anymore. The part number is 608634

Car is a 2003 Astra Coupe

Thanks guys (y)

all you need to do is remove the metal cover, remove the oil seal, clean away all oil, apply some sealant to both sides of the seal and refit.

I do this and it always works (y)

ps: use a screwdriver to prise the oil seal from the alloy plate

Just got to clean the mess up it's left now, quite ashamed I've had the car for 3 years and only just picking up on it, lol
