Could it actually be leaking at the PCV valve and running down?

How's the car running? How long have you noticed it leaking? How many miles on the car?

That could be one case. Where is it leaking from?

if the leak is at the engine front cover you need a nab of sealant right where the valve cover crosses the engine front cover, where you removed that old gasket you should notice the gasket stuck to the head about 2 inches back from the front of the engine. Hard to describe sealant should be right where the head and front timing cover and valve cover all met.

Its definetly not the pcv. I know it is the cam cover. Its just wierd that it is leaking after i put a new gasket on and torqued it down twice. I am begining to think that there is some worpage that may need to be resolved. I will check it out soon and post.

Thanks for ya'll help

I should have gotten under my car before I posted there was no way it was the PVC. It does appear to be the PVC. Anyone know an easy way to get in an fix?
