What would cause oil to end up on top of my drivers side valve cover? Theres more oil on the back of the valve cover than the front and I cant seem to find where its comming from.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Valve cover gasket. The wind under the hood will blow it back. That is all I can think of unless the PCV hoses were sucking up oil and leaking.
I have aftermarket valve covers and rubber gaskets that I put on last year and this oil being on top the cover thing happen just this past summer.
please decipher that for me - i dont have my 795.0Pacecar decoder ring with me.795.0pacecar said:
sounds like the covers and gaskets are new - i would look at the PCV (valve, grommet and screen). when it backs up, it can push the valve out of the cover - at that point you are venting blowby into the engine compartment.
good luck.

Ahh, but I have my 795.0Pacecar Decoder 2.0 right here. I think he said:

Jason, thanks. i think i got it now.90mustangGT said:
sounds like your (Jason's) first reply is still spot on.
with fresh gaskets (assuming they are not leaking), i would check the PCV valve (springs like to go south) and the grommet for a tight fit (they like to vulcanize and allow blowby to vent) and the screen (they like to stop being a screen and more like a wall).
good luck.
