My issue is that I have a BBI underdrive pulley that does not have the notch to show you TDC, it is a must to lock the crank at TDC in order to safely remove the IMS cover,
what else besides locking the crank at TDC is required (without messing anything else)..?
The pictures show the oil leak of 2 1/2 years, therefore is not too severe

To reseal the IMS cover, you have to remove it, and that requires doing everything needed to do an IMS swap (engine locked at TDC, cams locked, tensioners removed, etc.) , but without removing the bearing as it would not come out anyway. Along with replacing the three seals around the flange parameter, you also need to replace the center bolt seal and use green wicking Loctite on the center bolt threads.
