I had leaks coming from the valve covers, so I pulled them and replaced the gaskets, but I still have leaks. What next? ------------------ Clip ------------------ Last time I had valve cover leaks that didn't respond to new gaskets I found crank case pressure from broken rings. Check your compression. You might try leaving the dipstick out and running down the road about 50 mph and see how much oil pumps out, that is crankcase pressure doing that. I hope its just the bails (just re bend them for more spring action).
