That's a bummer
Posted by: TS888 (42226) on 2017-03-03 10:28:16 In Reply to: I have never had permanent success getting the valve covers to stop leaking posted by austinado16 on 2017-03-02 23:43:19	Share \| Report

It's definitely valve covers, the trans is dry and the cam plugs, cam sensor etc. are too.

I'm not usually a fan of using sealant on rubber profile gaskets, but this might be a time to try. Victor Reinz sealant is pretty reliable, if it buys me a few dry months I'll be happy.
