New valve cover gasket leaking after only one week!
New valve cover gasket leaking after only one week!
Front valve cover gasket starting to seep some oil. It's leaking in the front center, just to the right of the dipstick hole, and that other hole next to it. The leak seems to be new, as I've driven the car all this week and no leaking until just now.
I used Victor Reinz brand, which seems to be the OEM gasket, and the correct torque specs and sequence.
The good news is that it's not leaking from the sharp corners where you have to apply RTV, which is usually the most difficult part.

The rest of the good new is it's the front cover. I used Fel-Pro's when I did mine a couple of years back. Like the old Krylon Spray Paint commercials featuring Johnny Bench (childhood baseball idol) "...no runs, no drips, no errors."
