Probably valve cover gasket.

Yeah, it's probably your Valve Cover Gasket leaking.
I have pics almost identical to yours. Pull out a coil or two and check if there's oil in the coils or plugs. If so, I'd change those out after replacing the VCG as well. You could do it all in one DIY. |

Thank you, yeah i just determined it was the Valve Cover gasket.. and also it looks like the Valve Cover itself is cracked.. look at second picture, do you think i need to replace that as well? its almost 300$ for the part itself.. or would i be able to JB Weld it?
Thanks Sam |
