 the bolt next to my oil cap is leaking oil terribly bad, i can drive up to my local shop which is about 3 miles from my house and i can look behind the valve cover and there is oil all over the place near my injectors, im just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or knows what it could be, i dont know if there is a washer that may be busted or what, but not being sure i dont really want to take anything apart until i asked some of you guys that would know -------------------- |

it was probably leaking from the distributor and the valve cover so when you changed the valve cover and it couldn't get out that way anymore it now all comes out of the distributor. probably the O ring, you have to take the distributor off to change it
