ok i never thought to much of it we were fixing my problem today about the injectors, and i got to changing my spark plugs to ngk and i noticed almost every one was covered in oil even the spark plug boots, so i was like man maybe i really messed up with the valve cover gaskets so i took it off and made for sure that they were sealed good so i go to driving fiddling around with programming my safc2 and no problems but the oil has rebuilt in the same area again and is on the boots still, is this a problem that could lead to mroe serious problems? what do you think it is ?
 
check your pcv valve, if you are building pressure that can not vent, it may be blowing oil through your valve cover gasket....
 
Check that first but once you take your VC off you should replace tha gasket again. That is a very touchy area for them to go out.
 
ok i will replace the gaskets and also with my pcv valve that good be a problem, on the obx intake manifold there is no port for the valve so i had to run it to the back and use one of them back there so i used regular hose to extend it, could that be the problem?
