Hi all,
I'm a new owner of an '04 MR2 and new to driving. Bikes have been my go to the last 10 years but after having a spill for the first time on black ice, I thought it may best to upgrade to 4 wheels, at least for the icy mornings. Picked up my MR2, and my first car, last night. Loving it so far.
Anyway to the point. I noticed a few things that need attention tonight. My wiper bottle is leaking, im assuming its frozen up. The timing belt is cracking, probably the original with 55k miles on the clock. I also have an oil leak from a small cover thats sits to the right of the exhaust manifold. Was hoping someone could explain what it is?
I know my bikes inside out but dont have much experience with cars. It is held on by 2 bolts, dont know wether its some sort of inspection cover for the cam chain. I'll try attach a pic.
Cheers
Jamie

Re: Engine - What is this?
There’s a small seal behind that cover that is a common issue, it’s easy enough to change
The belt is just an aux belt the timing has a chain
