Maybe the oil is coming from above and it just looks like the distributor is the source? I replaced my distributor a few weeks ago but the valve cover gasket still leaks a little.
Anyway, can someone suggest the best way to seal the valve cover gasket? I need to get one of those inch-pound torque wrenches to make sure I am getting it just right I guess. I put a little bit of rtv sealer around the 1/2 moon things a few years ago but it stil leaked a bit and I've never fixed it. Chad On Sat, 19 Nov 2005, Loren wrote: > Ricky, It is a new one, yes.
