I have a  2.4 DOHC in my 98 Pontiac that is leaking oil at the camshaft covers. I have been reading manuals and looking for videos, but I cannot find good details on this job.  Can the cover seals be replaced without removing timing gears? I read that the timing cover had to be loosened?  Also will the cam pop up when the cover is removed as one guy stated? I am not familiar with this engine and need help from someone who is.  Thanks
 
I am looking for she same answers 
I was told gears need to come off to access the bolts be hind gears to remove cover 
Correct me if i'm wrong
 
Out the IDI holes?
