So my valve cover seal on the lower drivers side was leaking....very slowly. I ordered the new style silicone covered seals and am waiting. So, I didn't go out to the garage all day yesterday untill like 7pm.........Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!
My floor was completely covered in oil from under the car to the garage door in a bout a 3 foot wide creek. The garage door was all that sort of stopped it, sort of. I hate oil cooled..........my friend went to get me kitty litter while I soaked up the excess.

You need to check the surface of your valve covers when you take them back off and check them on a level surface and make sure they aren't warped.
Man, with all that oel and petrol in your garage, I hope you've got a fire extinguisher handy and have your car insured in case it goes "POOF"! Good luck, Don |

Alright, alright. The pics wont be much more interesting as they will be of a sea of kitty litter on my garage floor (which the land lord touted as "very clean" before I moved in).

Are you sure that you put in a porshce engine and not a jaguar. "fill the oil and check the gas" I was wrong about WWII weekend at Reading it is next weekend (2,3,4). If you and the misses are interested, get the car running and bring it down. I see the end in near and least it is not a mystery as to what problems you have to fix.
