Need some help tracking down my oil leak. I have oil all over the passenger side tin on the top, doesn't appear to be coming from breathers or oil fill tank, it's a complete mess with oil even on the firewall. I have ran it after cleaning and can't track down any leak, however after driving a short distance the tin is covered with oil even tracing the rear glass. So where in the heck could it be coming from? Oil cooler doesn't seem to be wet. Any help would be great

A picture is worth a thousand words. Only need three in this case. Valve cover gasket.
The top of the gasket sags down and oil blows out the top of the cover onto the head and then behind the tin under the intake and onto the tin. Doesn't sound likely but ive seen it before. |
