LCR Head gasket, leak?

[Gubien]

Hi all,

After fixing the vacuum hoses underneath the manifold, for good using forge replacements )
I had a bad feeling yesterday on my way home from work, so this morning i used my pressurekit and remove the airfilter og popped on the kit(http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160792014038&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160)

Didnt unplu anything else and just applied pressure gently, already at 0.3 bar I hear the hissing...went for some soap solution and then found the leak... On the left side (reverse end of the belt) of the top gasket... Soooeh....Is this a DYI job?

And, is this "normal" ? Cars gone 155.000, running 1,45 bar ATM

Best regards,

When you use that tool, I think u are supposed to clamp one of the hoses.....?

Why? Its a pretty closed system when pressurerised from the MAF side?

LOL....Actually, its the gasket for the cylinder cover i guess.

we often see leaks from the rocker gasket by the vvt 1/2 moon

Does it have effect on performance? Atm it does not seem to create much mess
