Re: Initial start up
If it is the smaller emissions section of the valve cover, all you need to do is spend about $10 for a bottle of sealant at your local auto parts store, and follow the instructions in the write up on how to redo the seals.
I did it on Bat's '08 Crossfire late last year, with ~11k miles on it.
No more smoke and burnt oil smell in the past 3k miles.
Much better than taking it to the dealer, having them screw it up, and not having the car for a week while they fix their mistakes. Or maybe its just our dealer that always makes a mistake when the car is in the shop for something simple.
