Oil Leak 440 driver side valve cover area - 07/27/08 12:39 PM
I have been swapping gaskets on the driver side valve cover thinking that it was the gasket that is the problem. Problem went away and tonight came back - I noticed the following:
Light mist residue on top of the valve cover, and around the plug wire, top of the header and around second valve cover bolt (lower) from the front. Nothing from the bottom of the cover. I looked at the dipstick and found oil in the top aeround the seal. I notice that the only time the leak occurs is between 2000 - 2500 RPM - when I am running on the highway. I belive my dipstick is the culpret - maybe backing out because of preasure or maybe the seal is shot. Has anyone ever had a similar issue?
