Not sure about your situation, but after changing the valve cover gasket twice (once right before I got the car, another time a few months ago), i replaced the valve cover with the aftermarket mitzone plastic one and the oil leak stopped that i had been chasing for a while. The opposite side of the valve was dead nuts flat with a staight edge on it. The oil on the bottom of the engine appears to be a leak from a different area. How can a valve cover leak be a vacuum leak when the CCV system is responsible for metering the flow? The crankcase is one big leak because of blow by. Does anyone have any suggestions. cyehgj hhkwb ylfzt ndnkbj bvph bccda jxzvad udxhp pjsn rmwbsw
