Does replacing the timing cover gasket on a 2014 ford focus require removing the motor?
My car is leaking oil at the timing cover gasket, can the dealership perform this repair with the motor installed or does it have to be removed?
It can be done without removing the engine but first try retorquing the bolts to ( maybe) 8ft lbs, more likely the crankshaft oil seal is leaking that is a bigger job but should still be possible without removing the engine, neither should happen on a 2014 car, also first try a heavier oil like 5-40 or 10-40, 5-20 is like water and will leak out of anything it is really only used to fake EPA testing
The labor guide lists 5.3 hours so the engine is not coming out.
