I noticed last night that I have a small "chip" broken out of the rear side front engine cover (13035+A) right on the seam where the two pieces come together. It's in a spot where it would be impossible for me to have done it by dropping a tool on it or something ... no clue how it got there, or how long it has been there. Car has been running fine, though today is only the second day I have driven it since before winter. It looks like a piece of the gasket or seal material is missing along with the tiny piece of metal that used to be a part of the rear cover.Is it anything to worry about ?
The diagram below the chip is in the backside piece ... and a photo of the chip as well.
UPDATED: Based on information from another forum member in another thread, these are actually pry holes for separating the two halves and are nothing to worry about.
... and a shot of the spot.
