    Common problem, there is a o-ring and oil seal in there. PM out parts supplier Chacal(click on the XJ4ever banner at the top of the page) he will send you a quote for parts. It is a cheap fix and easy to do.

    I don't know about the cap. I would assume if you a new o-ring on the drive and the cap it won't leak, at least it should not. Are you sure the valve cover is not leaking onto the tach drive?
    I did not know there was any vacationing to do in the Apex area, nothing much special to see around here. Family and friends are different, thats also a vacation.
