Default oil leak

Should oil leak out of the tensioner bolt hole that I have a bolt in?

Yes. On that bolt only, you should have noticed thread sealant on the bolt threads when you removed it.

WSM, Vol I, states to use thread sealant (loctite 574). Porken PKT tensioner installation guide says to use RTV on bolt threads.

Yes it sure does. Just put a new seal on when you put her back together. I also put a little thread sealer on that bolt just to be safe.

Thanks guys, someone was inside before and aside from not reinstalling the tensioner idler they didn't put any thread sealant on , what a mess.
