well firstly i have a oil leak i have oil pooling up where my spark plugs are, and also i have oil dripping under my car. I think the upper leak is just the valve cover gasket not sealing properly gunna take the valve cover off and then probably put gasket sealer to see if that fixes it. then under the car maybe the oil pan i dont know. 2nd i decided to pull the stock fog lights cus the driver side one was dead and put halogen fog lights in the place of the stock ones just ran them on the stock wire but they just keep blowing the fuse...is this cus the circuit to the stock switch cant handle the power? oh and any cheap exhaust systems that anyone knows of?
 
corner of the valve cover might be cracked the idiot that owned my car before me just jb welded it but it leaks a lil still but not to bad... with the fog lights it could be a short or just to much wattage going though it, u will have to get the ohm meter out and check some stuff out... have fun hope i helped
 
Remember, the VC bolts get torqued in inch pounds, which you can do with your fingers almost. "Snug" is probably too tight already. Tighter can induce cracks.
 
the oil on your valve cover is most def the oil cap, the gasket is less then $1 at mitsu just break the old now plastic gasket and pop the new one in.
 
haha the gasket at the mitsu dealership was 33.50! and each spark plug ring gasket was 5.50 a piece! oh and the oil cap does no l;eak at all haha checked that no oil residue around it what so ever! but tomorrow i am popping the valve cover off and adding sealant slash gasket maker to it to hopefully seal it completely and im jacking the car up to tighten the oil pan haha while i have the valve cover off tho i am gunna check for any cracks that might be in it.
 
ok im looking to get a good running turbo with good seals and everything for about 100 14b and or the stock size of my current turbo 13g...cus the seals have gone bad on mine.
