I tried to take a picture of it using a mirror, i hope you guys can see it.
Oil seepage around the headgasket area does that mean broken headbolts??
just checked all the valve cover bolts, none seems to be broken thank goodness. what bolt is broken on your car?
thanks for the tip!! i couldnt find any leaks around the valvetronic motor or around the valve cover, but your right it does look like my OFHG is leaking. i just changed that belt too!! looks like ill have to change it again. I did my last oil change in nov/18 and yes i checked the oil filter cap its tight.
thanks for the tip, i just checked it seems nice and tight. also checked the oil filter rubber ring. nothing seems out of the ordinary but im going to do an oil change anyway.
i just replaced the ccv with new hoses, i found out recently the rings are bad on cyl 5+6 so i have to add 1 quart of oil every month https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1533914 still puts a smile on my face when i floor it though and still traps 97-99mph so 
but your right i checked my vcg doesnt seem to be leaking thank goodness. |
Broken bolt is in the front corner. Left side if you are facing in front of car.
