Everytime I get an oil change, they tell me I need to do something because my engine is losing more oil than it should. I think I lose like a quart or something. Anyway, I'm assuming I need a new oil gasket?(can someone confirm this please?). But I'm noticing that I also have a bit of oil that seems to be coming from the two nuts that hold the valve cover in place.
 i circled it in red. it just looks like theres some oil in that area that is slowly coming out. i dont think its a big deal but im going turbo very soon and want to make sure everythings perfect. so let me know what i can do about these oil leaks and how to fix it. thanks. EDIT: this pic was BEFORE i cleaned my engine bay. lol. This post has been edited by JoKeRkId613: Dec 8, 2005 - 10:00 PM --------------------  |

if the gasket was bad you would have oil comming from the bottom of the cover. Those 2 nuts should have washers under them, make sure they do. They are 10mm, just take them off and check it out.
