It is def a PITA job but not 14 hours as you do not have to pull the head, just about a billion little bolts holding the cover in place.

Unless the leak is coming from somewhere else?
I don't think its the actual timing cover, unless I misunderstood. They said the timing cover has to come off and the head to seal this leak. He said something about two little tabs that stick out on the back of the motor and you need to RTV them and one of those is leaking or something.

Obviously before I do anything I will try to figure out what they were talking about, but regardless, still something is leaking.
