Valve cover leak
I removed the air filter and assembly, battery, degas bottle, ficm, ficm bracket and related harness back to the ICP.
I've pin pointed the annoying oil leak I've been having to the valve cover in the area back towards the firewall.
I also noticed that when I was removing the ficm and bracket, the common studs would spin beneath the bracket as the nuts had frozen onto the threads. This happened twice before I held the others with a wrench and then dislodged the nut.
I did my ICP a few months ago so I'm thinking I may have loosened something inadvertantly causing the leak.
My question is if the leaking oil getting past the gasket has damaged the gasket/seal, or can I just tighten everything down and call it quits?
