Just like the title says, oil is leaking from the valve cover bolts. I have a new felpro valve cover gasket set, also I have a VC bolt set from STM.

I think it has something with my oil pressure I don't have balance shafts and on start up, its up there like 80psi with 10w30 Pensoil.

Any help would be appreciated
 
You might be able to epoxy that inside and cover it in silicone to keep it from leaking.....or have it welded up.
 
I have personally used jb weld on a hairline crack in almost the same area, I coated both sides of the crack very carefully and allowing to cure for a few days. It's nothing permanent but can by u time for another option. Just my two cents thank you for your time, Jason Penny
