Oil seeping

[ponysarepretty]

There seems to be oil seeping from one of the bolts on the driver side valve cover, its the lower one and the second over, right next to the dipstick... any ideas?

If it's coming from the valve cover, one can only assume it's a leaky valve cover gasket.

either a leaky valve cover gasket, or a failed PCV valve. either way you should replace the valvo cover gasket and the PCV valve.

I suspected as much, but since it is only trickling when I drive the car and wil maybe lose 1 drop and hour, do you think its worth it to change the gaskets or let it be. Also it seems the service department at the ford dealership overfilled teh crankcase, i'm guessing with 6 qts instead of the 5 qts and also the ATF. I'm going back and making them fix it, they also forgot to account for the bubbles in the coolants. Suffice it to say I'm never going back to that dealership again. Do you think the increased pressure is at fault?
