two questions, i've got oil dripping off my oil filter. no, it's not the filter, i just replaced it with no change. it looks like its comming from above the filter. possibly valve cover gasket? it only leaks when the engine is hot. it seems to stop after the engine cools. is there any other place it could come from in that area?
second,
autozone's "do it yourself" section says to replace the valve cover gaskets to free the motor from the motor mount on the right side and rest it on wood blocks between the engine and the frame?? huh?? it doesn't say why. it seems redundant. if i put a block of wood between the engine and frame the engine will be sitting in the same place as if the motor mount was still attached??
does anyone have a better step by step procedure for replacing the valve cover gaskets? is it something a novice could do in the appartment parking lot on a saturday afternoon?
