FW: HELP WITH AN OIL LEAK PLEASE

>BMW people,

>tensioner, water pump, cap, and rotor.  I have had an oil leak in this
>area for a long time.  It looks like it is coming from under the cam
>shaft or above the main bearing somehow.   Should I replace the cam
>seal while I have it apart?  Is this a difficult task?  Any
>instructions that might make it easier?  (like how do you hold the cam
>shaft gear so that you can take the bolt out?)  Anything else I should
>do while I am in there?
>	I am sure these are elementary questions to most BMWers but I am new
>to this and sure could use the help.
>	Thank you in advance.
