Sooooo... I have posted a few times recently about projects to stop oil leaks. I have done the following:
1. Replaced valve cover gasket, and rubber groments on elbows.
2. Had dealer replace oil filter adapter gasket.
So, first day, no leaks....drove it to work today, LEAKS!! It is soaked on the drivers side!! What next?

Soaked on the driver's side of what? The valve cover, the lower block, the ground? Where are you seeing oil collecting, and where is the highest clean place you can find?

just looked around some more and the valve cover looks good. the oil cap was leaking though
and i ordered a new one (I have kragen special) It is just soaked on the drivers side and I pressure washed yesterday! It is really wet along the frame (I know unibody, but frame) and front drive shaft

any updates??
Thinking about changing my valve cover gasket. What type did you use or if anyone else know what I should use. Anything particular I should know or need before removing the cover?
