was adding washer fluid today and noticed my right valve cover is leaking in the front. it looks like from the top corner to the middle of the cover. now this is why i'm confused my car has 3000mi on it. i don't drive it real hard alot. anyone else have gasket probs? also i noticed my brake res. was overflowing. i did have one or two high speed runs late at night. guessing it happened then. i had this same prob with my old 97 ws6 trans-am. but on that car i just had to spike em good.

are you talking passenger side of the vehice or the drivers side i have a 02 and there was a recall on them because they did not put a clamp on the hose that connects to the pcv valve and on high rev runs it will leak oil of the there. mine was doing it every long run i would make, now that i have the clamp on the hose it stoped. hopefully this helps

take it back to the dealer and make them fix it. the car is under warrenty, you shouldnt have any problem like that.

o.k. this is for now and future probs. hopefully i don't have anymore. should i pull the predator tune out? also should i remove it anytime it goes in for service: i get free oil changes and inspections/emisions. this is the first new car that i played with my comp.. usually they're older. i just don't want to burn myself!
