Look at you tryin to show your POS off

Could be from the valve cover, could be oil that leaked out yesterday from when Andrew put them in that just hasn't burnt off yet.

i wouldnt worry about it...that doesnt look like a lot...and im assuming you just did some work to it from what the last poster said. Did you replace the gasket with a new one? The valve cover should be torqued down...about how tight did u bolt the vc down?

Could be valve cover gasket. I would take off the timing cover and check the cam seal.

yeah torqued down to a whopping 3ft/lbs.

well thats what im talking about if he tightened them tight he can pinch it and make it leak like crazy. I didn't know that the first time i changed it and then i had to replace the gasket.

haynes manual says :
"valve cover to cylinder head bolts : 30 inch lbs
center cover bolts : 26 inch lbs"
but whatever works i guess

Agreed, check the cam seals.
