Ironic! Just noticed a very, very slight oil residue around my valve cover recently. I keep my engine clean which made it easy to spot so it looks like I'll be doing the gasket change. Anyone know the torque value for the cover bolts? NEVER MIND - FOUND IT....
check that the crankcase vent hose (that vents to the intake pipe before the turbo) has been clipped into the crankcase. Sometimes the engines are missing the little clip.
If you can, post a close-up photo of the crankcase
Excellent! Thanks Short Wait - The torque spec for the valve cover bolts! Been looking for this for a while and am going to replace the cover tonight. 9 ft-lbs.
