Thank you. I think I have been able to trace the origin of the leak. There is a metal component that is attached and seperated by a gasket to the valve cover. This component is where the oil cap is attached. I am noticing oil and moisture under a small part of the rubber gasket and it appears to be running down onto the valve cover and then the manifold where I get it starts to smoke. Does this make any sense? What is the component called that the oil cap attaches to? I guess it would be a wise decision not to drive the car until it goes to the dealership?
