is valve cover gasket leaking a big problem? (o)
I noticed that my valve cover gasket may need replacing, because there
is oil around the edges. However, I don't see any puddles of oil puddles on the pavement where the car where the car is parked. It's very clean. Is that a big problem that must be fixed ASAP? Would it affect my sparkplugs? |

If you aren't having to add much oil between changes <1 qt, just fix it when you have the time. -- Anthony You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make better idiots.

If it is a cork gasket, it is supposed to be wet at the edges, just not
enough to run or drip.
