"leaking" might be an understatement. Its a little worse than that. She leaked a few drops every now and then if I let the car sit for a month while I'm at school, but its a different situation now.
This is a recent problem, within the last couple weeks. Started after I swapped my intake. I just want to narrow this down to what it might be so that I can get this fixed.
I know Texas82GP gave me a good idea awhile back about hooking my crankcase breather tube up to my new heightened air cleaner. I haven't gotten around to that yet. Right now its just sticking out of the valve cover with a foam filter on the end. Is that a problem? Does it need vacuum drawn by the air cleaner or something? Would this cause a leak? The foam doesn't even have a lot of oil on it.
I don't think it has anything to do with the PCV. It's sucking really good and I have it connected to to carb.
It's not the oil filter or oil drain plug.
The intake is on tight, so I don't think that's it either.
I just tightened my valve cover bolts (they weren't that tight. The wrench was easy to turn) so hopefully that helps. I actually snapped one so that really sucks. I couldn't mess with it anymore because the university maintenance guys came up and told me that you can't work on your car on UD property.
Are valve covers supposed to have gaskets? Maybe mine had them before but they just corroded away to nothing. Can I use RTV to seal them up when I go home later this week?
