Leak Around Valves? or Valve Cover? Options

[kbrunk1]

I have a sizeable drip going. (driver side)
I put the new slghtly oversized cork valve gaskets under the covers.
I used a tiny bit of ?forgot name? gasket seal to hold while putting in place (four corners).
One side is fine. no leak (passenger side)
I think the driver side is fine also concering the cork seal and the cover.
It seems the leak is coming from the round pipes going into the valve adjustment area where you set the valves (from back side where the cover goes).
Has anyone else had this issue?
Is this a drop engine repair? (hope not)

I have a spare set of cork seals and could try another round, but do not think this is the problem.
Oil hits the exhaust then runs downhill and drips at two spots.... real bummer...
Smoke and nasty smell....

the link on pellican was for the oil cooler not push rod seals.
I assume the same tricks apply.
I asume you can do both inner and outer without removing the engine.

Anyone have a link for advice or I guess just start and follow logic.

Thanks

You can do both inner and outer without dropping the engine.

Also, consider changing out your oil cooler seals.

I think whenever you 'bring one of these back to life' you have to reseal the motor. The big three are the push rod tube seals. I like the Viton replacements. The oil cooler seals, and the oil pressure sender on top of the motor.

Valve cover gasket leaks are usually just from putting the thing on wrong.
