Howdy folks,

What you make of this? Just noticed today.


I think it's oil coming up from the valve cover, not fuel coming down from return line.

Time to replace valve cover gaskets? (And paint valve covers while I have em off?

-hj

 

 

You could, or just re-tighten the bolts. 90% chance they are only finger tight or less.

 

yup. they loosen up over time. every year i snug them up on my 88. still has the factory gaskets on it, and they stop leaking after snugging them

 

Mine are doing the exact same thing. I bought new gaskets for them, and do want to freshen the paint up, but this is good info for next time...Thanks

 

I've noticed mine loosen up over time as well. Maybe spring washers would be a good solution?
