Cracked Timing Case!

Think I found my little oil leak problem. Pretty sure it is a cracked timing cover. Pretty sure the KDP got tabbed at least the PO said so.

The crack is below and to the left of the vacuum pump. You can see the thin white line. Seems like a weird place to me. Also not a huge crack, but seems to be leaking oil there or right above the crack. Anyhow, it has to come off and be replaced I think.

Any good sources on these things?
