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.
Jason hit it right on the head. i might check the PCV first, as i think it might be more likely. if getting valve cover gaskets, i recommend the rubber over steel units.
please decipher that for me - i dont have my 795.0Pacecar decoder ring with me.
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.

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

I have aftermarket valve covers with rubber gaskets that I installed last year so this oil being located on top the valvecover must have happend this past summer.
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).
