Please Help!!! Oil Problems. Big Time
Ok. well the problem is my friends and i got great ideas to paint our valvecovers like asses cause its cheaper. So i end up paintin mine and its all great and im puttin it back on and i end up breakin the last bolt on my valve cover. Its the one thats on the far right in the front. So the thing is. I havent had a problem with it with oil pressure problems or anyhthing cause i just left the broken bolt in there but today i had to drive 250 miles for a dang easter family gathering and somewhere in the middle of the trip i lost the rest of the broken bolt and now my car leaks oil. It spews out the top of the valve cover where the bolt was onto the hood. I seem to notice some loss in oil pressure sometimes when im driving like my car is poopin out. The weird thing is that i checked if my oil was low and appears that the oil is like overfilled which makes no sense because its leaking oil. Could anyone help me out possibly with this problem with a simple soultion that i could do with this till i can get home and completley fix this problem? I was thinking of using like jb weld or something till tomorrow but i doubt it will hold. Please give me anything

drill the bolt out and bust out the good old friend named helicoil. by the way i dont think that you would drop much oil pressure with that leak, unless you ran the motor so low on oil that the pick up wasnt constantly submurged, in which case you have more to worry about that a valve cover bolt.lol

If the bolt is out far enough you might be able to throw a nut on it, otherwise your gonna have to drill out the middle of the bolt( make sure you go straight down) and use some kinda tool that im noT sure what its called to turn the bolt out. or drill it all out, retap it and get a bigger bolt
