Well I put synthetic in and sure enough I have a leak
 Its comming from the forward right corner of the valve cover so should I assume that its just the gasket? If so with the help of a manual and a bit of free time is there reason why I shouldn't try and change it myself? I tore down a v8 a few weeks back in class but I don't have the tools or anyone to look over my shoulder.

first make sure it is your valve cover gasket your oil pressure sensor is right there and they can leak as well.
clean it of and check it later on. The valve cover gasket should be easy to do IF you have the RIGHT tools and parts. The only thing that holds the valve cover on it the four nuts under the spark plug wires. If you decide to do it post more on here and we can help out and tell you what to do |
