Oil leak after engine out and aos change help needed!!

[blynch]

I’ve had my 996 to the garage for a aos change after a fail , engine out fix and back in but now has smoke at start and after approx 15mile drive major oil leak from this area at rear ... any help please

Is that green hole plug slipped out of the cam access/cam locking hole ? The camshafts get locked in place for IMS bearing replacement and some other procedures

Someone, who does not know any better, used sealant on the cam plugs. These should only be installed totally clean and dry, NO SEALANT.

Yes on removal of cover the channels were clogged with sealant I am presuming this is why the cap popped ?
