Message "a", if not "the", source of your oil leak problem.

Welding the VTC? I can't say I'd recommend doing that for a multitude of reasons:

1) Ghetto
2) No gaurantee it will work (contaminated welds from oil)
3) if it doesn't work, they are 100% junk e.g. no good as cores for BDE rebuilds.
4) the heat will kill the internal VTC spring
5) Ghetto!

You have three choices, take a chance on another set of used VTC gears, buy new Nissan replacements or do a search for rebuilt BDE VTC sprockets.

Sorry all, I'm trying not to turn this into a classified ad.
