Valve cover gasket, I think

[IDIBRONCO]

I use 1/4"' drive stuff and it fits in easier. It looks to me like the bolt in your valve cover picture is loose judging by what appears to be fresh oil and a clean spot underneath the bolt. Maybe you could tighten it up a little bit.

Yep that’s possible. I’ll check it tomorrow.

Just replace the gasket, the rear bolt isn't that bad I just lay on my motor and use a wrench on it only takes a couple turns before I can twist it out by hand or a nut driver. Valves covers aren't suppose to be all that tightened down

The lower cover bolts felt a little loose perhaps. I snugged then down for now. I didn’t go crazy tightening though. A quarter turn at most. I wiped up down low a little so maybe I’ll be able to tell. I’ll still replace soon though.

I'm having this as well, but not VC gaskets (just replaced, old showed no signs of leaking). No oil on the flywheel, but a lot on the starter and some on the crossover pipe, but nothing at the back of the valley pan or around the drain. I'm wondering if mine is the pressure sensor extension since I can't see it or get my hand down to feel around the base of it.

Mine seems confined to the drivers side only.

Well tightening that one time seems like it stopped the leak, or nearly so.

Good. At least now it's not as much of a worry. It can still be replaced later when it's more convienent for you.
