sorry mate, im not sure it was just word of mouth
but some other guy said they you will have to take all the motor off, and replace the cam gasket and probably replace the belt as well coz that may be ****ed. or something along them lines, sorry i cant be more informative
do you know whether it will be an expensive fix?

is it v6 or v8?
v6's have problems with leaky sump and tappet cover gaskets mainly.
Crank shaft seal is also possible.
