I hate to point out the obvious, but if your technician makes the valve cover seal leak worse, then he's a horrible technician, and shouldn't be working on anyone's vehicles.

You can not have an easier repair on the Crossfire than this one.

I have a motorcycle with over 50k miles on it that is 22 years old sitting in my garage for the last 3 years, and it doesn't seep anything at all. If your 5 year old car is seeping oil, there is something wrong with your car. Bat's 10 year old PT Cruiser doesn't leak or seep any oil.

Having an oil leak on an engine is NOT normal.
Engines are supposed to be oil tight.

We won't have a discussion about the things you don't care about.
We understand that they are grandiose in their quantity and subject matter.
