I have been given two options for repair.

Option 1 Try to resell the camshaft bolt. Not guaranteed to work

Option 2. Replace the camshaft cover and replace the cam belt Option 2 would cost considerably more, is it worth it? I need the car daily co collect my children from school apart from other numerous journeys, so it is essential.

Thank you. Clare

Do you mean the camshaft oil seal is leaking? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response.
