Valve Cover Leaking and Green Stuff

[Spyke169]

the leak in your valve cover gasket is most likly caused by a plugged pcv valve. Put a new one in (they are like 3 bucks at napa), clean everything up then watch for further leaking. you may not even have to raplace the gasket or ankything. I was leaking oil from the front of my valve cover gasket and under my oil cap. After raplacing the oil cap and it still leaking I got smart and thaught about what could make it leak. Raplaced the pcv cleaned it up, and I've been good ever since.

Can you guys recommend the best place to purchase OEM hoses. Should I just get them straight from the dealer or does some other store carry them? I'm planning on replacing all the hoses.

you ask bout replacing hoses...in what terms of hoses are you talking radiator...vacumm etc... if it was bout the vac id eliminate all the lines you dont need there is post on here somewhere from taboo speed shop and shows what you need to do in order to eliminate all the vac lines hope this helps-

I was just wondering where to get the OEM hoses for the radiator, vacuum and such. I have about 121,000 miles and I want to replace the stock hoses in the engine bay. I will also be changing my VC gasket soon since my engine currently looks like the pic on the first page.

NAPA, AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts...Anywhere like that is good.
