2G Oil on valve cover

[JGeezyyy]

So I’ve been having an issue with oil on the valve cover since I purchased this car earlier this year. I replaced the valve cover gasket with tube seals, and the oil cap gasket. If the valve cover has a crack in it, I can’t find it. Just wanted to ask if there’s any other options before I buy a new valve cover. Thanks guys. I have a picture just in case.

If anything, your kinked up hose there is helping haha. That is not the source of your problems. But as the wiseman said, of course you fix that.

Let us know when you find it.

The crack can be welded or I have used epoxy in the past that worked ok.

Cool, I have a welding buddy he loves small jobs like this to practice

Make sure you let him know it's cast aluminum that needs to be welded. It's not the easiest thing to fix and can sometimes be cheaper to just buy a new one.

I wouldn't say that so fast
That hose most certainly means pcv is likely not working.

Good thing he owes me a few favors if it is too much for him, which I doubt, I have no problem buying a new one
