Re: oil leak

If the valve cover is cracked then you'll need to replace it with another one. When you put the replacement one on you'll have to be careful about tightening it down. If I remember correctly, you need to tighten them by staggering from one side to the other until they all have been tightened equally so you don't crack the next one. Don't overtighten either or they will crack. Just get em a hair past snug.
