Hi everybody, I did a major tune up on my Camper ('76) and noticed that the valve cover gaskets on both sides were leaking. So I bought new ones and put them in after adjusting the valves. After I got to work this morning I checked the valve covers for oil again and they were wet again. With wet I mean they are not leacking in a way that oil drops down. So is there any remedy for that? Or is this normal and nothing I should worry about? I'm still on the steep part of my learning curve regarding VW vans.... I'm also in the process installing an ammeter and I am wondering what the best way is to run cables from the engine compartment all the way to the dashboard and back. Under the carpet? Behind the cabinets? Thanks for any help.
