Does the PCV valve replacement come with a new seal or is that part of the valvecover?

There's an O-ring on the PCV valve itself. I don't know if it's sealed any better than before. I haven't put many miles on it since the replacement...

I had the same symptoms, but my issue was the PCV HOSE...it essentially had stretch the opening where it connects to the PCV valve and was allowing a bit of oil to leak out. I could have bought a new hose, fab'd a new hose or just add a hose clamp...I choose door #3 and haven't had any issues since (circa 2 years).

Best of luck!

Mine is 11yrs old with 100k on it 50K of that supercharged.
