Re: 98 gtp steaming

If your valve cover gaskets are that bad then most likely the cause. The seeping oil normally winds up on the exhaust manifolds and burns off so you may see smoke. Plus there may be a smell of burning oil.

Also, check the bottom part of the engine and look for any oil leaking from the oil pan and/or rear main seal.
