    CAS o-ring, cams seal, valve cover gasket and crack shaft front oil seal are easy to replace when you replace your timing belt.

    My name is Corey and I have a red '90 also O_O Nice to meet you lol

    I never thought of the O-ring for the CAS until one of my hoses started gushing out fluid everywhere. Temporarily bypassed the heater core until I could get the proper hoses in. Definitely want to check the hoses since it is winter, for sure haha

    Sounds like classic valve cover gasket is toast. If it's old, dry, cracked, it'll leak from everywhere....spark plugs, sides, out the CAS o-ring. Get that thing fixed! Also don't forget the gasket sealant for the corners of the valve cover when you re install it. Have fun.
