Is this just a push rod tube seal gone bad? I need to take the cylinder head off to fix this right? Do I need any special tools to put it back together? I have a Haynes manual but to be honest I guess I'm just looking for assurance that I'm not about to turn my car into a permanent lawn ornament. Or perhaps some advice that would help prevent the same. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

by the way, if the tube is not leaking, why change it? if you are worried about the long thin dent in the tube, you could rotate it to locate the dent at the top, but then you would risk the integrity of the push rod tube seals and start them leaking. the tube is just an oil return anyway and it appears not to be leaking.
