Oil Leakage help

[Car4Lfe]

Okay guys i remove my spark plug cover to inspect and realize there were oil in there after checking out what was the problem i then realize it was my oil cap it was loose so that was solved but the main leakage is located on/near my valve cover for some reason there are oil coming out and sliding down but i cant figure whats wrong with it or how it was leaking and why it was leaking . i post a picture of it for you guys once it stop raining.. if you guys have any guess what could be the problem please help.. keep in mind car is 100% stocked only thing on it is a turbo timer from HKS. My next step i m going to do this week is add a new filter pipe and filter itself, boost gauge, blow off valve. But i really want to find out what is causing the leakage please help.

Thank You

Sounds like its your valve cover gasket. They are cheap enough it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

usually how much does it go for ### i dont want to get rip off and should i buy it from dealer or will an ebay valve cover gasket work just fine.

Here at NAPA the kit is around 50.00 with the gasket, semi circular plugs, and spark plug tube seals.

Seriosly it wasnt more than 20 dollars I think i spent 12.99 or something like that. You dont have a local parts store in your area like advanced auto or autozone or nappa? Even from the dealer they shouldn't be that expensive.

yup i have an auto zone by my house i thought that there were a certain size or something to the gasket that i needed to get or am i wrong?

p.s. this is my first car sry for all the dumb question

Okay I just checked and I was wrong. They are $33.39, I work there and get a discount I guess thats why I was thinking so cheap. But thats still not that bad. Just when you replace the gasket be sure not to over tighten the valve cover bolts they can strip out really easy. Its cool man everyone has to start somewhere.
