Cool Re: Valve cover leak...

Today's the day - We're not clear on whether it's the breather covers or the valve covers who are leaking but we took of the engine cover last night and wiped things down a little to see what is what. We went and ordered gaskets for the valve cover and will pick them up after noon just in case we find it IS the VC's leaking. It's been some years since I've done something like this so I hope I've not opened a can of worms, but the info you've all put out here is so appreciated!

I think the dealership started unbolting things before they asked to do the work & then retightened when we said no thanks. Now the leak is worse and there is a small amount of smoke when the engine is running, where there was none before.

We also have one threaded opening in the VC with no bolt. It is on the passenger side, just forward of the rubber grommet that holds the engine cover on. Anyone have any idea what that is? Thanks
