hi , i have a leak at the timing cover gasket . Can i remove the timing cover without removing the radiator . Good idea to change the front oil seal at the same time ???

I usually IS the seal that's leaking, unlikely to be the 'gasket' - and yes you can do it. But much easier with rad out - it's only 4 bolts......

Some remove the front panel complete with rad for better access. Check the timing chain and sprockets while you are at it.
