94 swift leaking oil

I got a 94 swift. twice in the last 2 months, oil has started to come out of the valve cover gasket. I have put in a new pcv valve but it just happened again after about 3 weeks. Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks

Re: 94 swift leaking oil

Try a new valve cover gasket. Mine was leaking badly all down the front of the motor. A new gasket fixed that. Since the motor 'tilts' forward the oil can accumulate there and get past a bad gasket.

Do you mean it's coming from the valve cover gasket itself or the rubber grommet the valve fits into? If it is one of those grommets you should be able to find it at the local parts store for a couple bucks.
