My exhaust side valve cover is leaking like a sieve. The gasket is holding up fine, it's that "box" thing that is apparently just press fit onto the top. Oil is seeping out of it at a pretty good rate. I think I'd rather have a set of FWD valve covers actually, but none of the local yards will let you take stuff from the motor w/o buying it. NEway, post up if you've got a spare set, RWD/FWD, but FWD is prefferred.

Thanks,Ryan

that box is held on with screws, might need a impact screwdriver to get them loose, then RTV it and tighten it back down. ive done this to three sets this week already since i completely diassemble them to powder coat them.
