I'm confused about how to fix the timing tensioner leak in an AU,
Is it just a case of removing the P/S pump and brackets and tightening the tensioner bolt up without removing anything else and putting the P/S pump back on and done? I have already done the front crank seal so it's not that, and I can see the oil stains on the block under the P/S Pump |

I have done a how to in my build section http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...1238536&page=7 BUT be careful. If you don't want the hassle of re-setting the tensioner, get some gasket goo and only loosen it. Clean and put on the gasket goo and re seal. When I undid mine the centre bolt wasn't leaking just the larger sleeve. Hope this helps UK
