So i have an oil leak under the coil. I thought it was my valve cover gasket so i replaced it and it still is leaking oil on to the header. Could it be the o rings that is on the coil bolts? Or is the valve cover just bad now? Thanks
You should probably try a new valve cover. And in the future, don't tighten the coil down too tight. I know it seems like it might not be on that well, but it won't come off if you just snug it down.
Where is the valve cover gasket located? I brought my car to the dealership for a 30 point inspection, and they said my valve cover gasket is leaking? The dealership wants $230 plus labor I think, if I can do this myself it would be great.
