Valley pan gasket and cam chain tensioner leaks
99 a6q avant.
Want to fix the oil leaks, largest is back of drivers side head. Replaced valve cover gaskets but my tensioner tool from a 1.8t didn't work. Any of the cheap aftermarket tools worth buying?
Replaced breather hoses, green one way valve, braided vac lines over throttle. Have a vac issue still as I only have brake assist for one time then hard pedal. May have to pull it all apart to see what's leaking.

Driver's side head only has the cam plug and cam seal for the CSP on the back. Not leaking at the plug?
Valley pan gasket is not a know leaker on the 30v. That would be an oddball.

Might be the plug. Changed gasket 6 months ago and it slowed leaking but didn't fix vac system until recently. Need to pull intake piping and hoses, possibly throttle to figure out where the vac leak is and will redo seal at same time.
