So I changed my valve cover gasket and tube seals the other day, and I'm having some serious problems now. Basically, there's unburned gas just pouring (or steaming) out the exhaust, and a bit drips out through the bottom (under the engine). It's not oil, 'cause it's not as white and it smells like gas and it left a huge spot on the ground that doesn't look like oil. I kept running the car for a bit (thought maybe I had to "clear it out"), and lost about half a tank of gas in 15 minutes. Spark plugs and wires are all good, so it's not those. Help?
