I noticed this exact same issue after finding a couple of drops of oil on the floor of my garage last week. Is the fix really that simple to unbolt the VarioCam solenoid cover (part # 996.105.223.52 for a '99 2.5L, I presume), replace it, and tighten the bolts back on? Anyone have the torque specs for these bolts? Also, is it worth it to replace the VarioCam solenoid cover on the OTHER side while I'm at it? If one side is bad, is the other side simply a matter of time until it starts leaking, too?
Thanks,
Jason
