Subject:      Valve cover oil leak..
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I know this is easy to fix by simply replacing the valve cover gasket. But
the problem is that when I open the valve cover, oil continue to drip for
over 5 minutes on the driver side of the engine. There was no oil leaking out
at all on the passenger side. Is that mean there is an oil leak somewhere in
the cylinder head on the driver side of the engine? This is my first VW, I
have no idea what it should look behind those valve cover. Any suggestion
will be greatly appreciated.
