Leaky Valve Cover Gaskets
As you pop the hood and look at the engine, back on the left hand corner of the engine, my valve cover is leaking.
I am going to attempt to tighten it, but it is in a terrible spot. The heater blower is right by it. If I would decide to replace the gasket because it won't stop leaking, even if I can tighten it, do I need to remove the blower in order to work on it properly, or is there another way to accomplish this task without the extra work?
Or is there an easy way to tighten the bolt in the back...???
Maybe a couple of long extensions???
