I think my valvecover is leaking from all four corners. Does anyone else seem to have this problem? It is the worse on the back of the engine on the drivers side right by the trans. I am hoping it is the VC gasket because thats only a 9 dollar part and a 10 min job. I think the VC gasket may have been put on wrong or could anything else be leaking in these areas? Here are some pics:

 

who did the install
did you replace the gasket?

you can't ask questions without providing all the info

your supposed to replace the gasket everytime u change the VC "supposedly"

when we did the VC on my ep3 it only had 300 miles so we figured it was ok

no leaks

 

the VC gasket is rubber, so you dont need to change it everytime per say, just use honda bond correctly.

The VC has never been off.

 

its a honda manufacturer defect. the vavle cover is bad y0.
how many miles are on the motor?
what kind is it?
is it the original motor?

this thread is pointless.

pointless, i guess here it was. on k20a.org i posted it and it turns out that most k20's have leaked from the factory, honda didnt do that well of a job with the Valve Cover gasket and hondabond.

most people have just resealed it and its fixed.

its a k20a, about 20k, and its in an EG.
