Valve cover vents....leaking on the rear one!

I did the valve cover last week and today I started to smell burning oil again...so I checked and the valve cover vent in the rear is leaking! How do oil get pushed out that way....I saw a baffle in the valve cover?????

Where can I get parts for this cheap?

At the Junk Yard.

Clean your CCV good with Seafoam to make usre it is not clogged creating back pressure.

If you used a cork gasket you have to go back about a week later and retorque everything.

Thanks! I used the rubber gasket and torqued to 85 inch pounds and just yesterday I noticed the top CCV on the rear is leaking...so I guess JY or suck it up and buy new at the dealer.

Thanks again....OH...how hard are they to remove?
