So that's where my oil leak was coming from.

the lower oil passageway on the right side of the timing chain cover.

I can say with utmost certainty that is not getting fixed anytime soon for a few simple reasons.

1. This is the only leak the alfa has, and we all know that for Italian cars one leak might as well be perfect.

and 2. removing the timing chain cover involves removing the radiator AND the crank pully which has an absurdly bigly nut on it.

oil leaks add character too.

time to break out the rtv and make a HUGE goober gobber blob over the hole. for something like this, i would highly recomend the differential cover stuff(its thick) just be sure to get all the oil off the spot youre putting the rtv to, or it wont stick, and you do have to let it set up for about a day....... but finding the leak is more than half the battle......
