ok, so I just finished changing out the valve covers as well as the gaskets as they had leaks. I am pretty sure everything sealed up right. When I started the car up and revved her up a few times I am getting some smoke....but ONLY if you rev it up a few times. I never noticed this before, however, I have also never sat in my driveway reving it looking for smoke...
I have taken a towel and run it along the brim of the valvecover all along the side and front and it didn't seem to have any oil on it...
When I drive the car, park it and get out, I have a smell of burning oil/rubber....just trying to figure out where this can be coming from? Previously I had oil leaking on the y-pipe, I assume it is still leaking from the rear main seal onto the y-pipe....How else can I tell if I am leaking from these covers, or where this smell/smoke may be coming from?
Also, I lost a valve cover screw and rubber thing that attaches to it...where can I get another one? (this is on the opposite side where I don't appear to have a problem)
