The problem with saying RHS or LHS is that it too can me misinterpreted. Is it from the viewpoint of looking into the engine bay or from sitting in the car? I guess we could always refer to things as belt side or transmission side...jets wrote:I know 99% of you guys drive LHD cars but for the 1% with RHD cars ref. to passenger side of engine can be misinterpreted. I suggest just to say RHS.

Leak on the belt side of the world
Well it couldn't wait till this weekend; I started by hosing down the engine to remove the excess oil, started it up and watched. Oil was coming from high on the engine so I checked the torque on the valve cover and was able to get several turns before the 87 inch pound click. I drove to work this evening and no more oil leak. I used the cork gasket from the engine set, when I remove the valve cover to re-torque the head bolts at a thousand miles, I'll upgrade to the rubber gasket and the shoulder less studs. Happy it wasn't any of the oil seals on the belt side.
