as u all know i have an oil leak problem, and heard that it could be the rear main seal, but if it is, then why is there oil on the driver side valve cover? i already put new valve cover gaskets on nad did em right, i also changed my PCV valve, i ithnk the oil dripping heavery cuz it's gettin on the headers and mid piping and it's burning off and smoking, but there also is smoke comin in from the vents and into the car, i plan on takin it to my dad's friends shop to take a look, but i want to know what it could be, becasue i can't drive my car it's that bad, thanks

The rear main wouldnt put oil on the Valve cover. It is at the back of the oil pan where it meets the Trans on the end of the crank. I had to replace mine awhile back due to a leak (Wasnt that bad of a leak but I was putting in a new clutch so I did it while I was in ther) and I still have the same drip every now and then.

PCV popped out. Make sure the screen is in there. Mine would come off and smoke would pour into the vents.

There's a rubber insert that the pcv valve slides into. You just need to replace that insert so you get a snugger fit.

It is NAPA part number BK 6301388
