I'm wondering if they didn't clean up the oil when the gasket was replaced. Although the OEM plugs were changed at 125k. Which is when the last inspection 2 was performed. I'm pretty sure my mechanic would have said something if there was oil in there when he changed the plugs.
Can you put in a more resilient valve cover gasket to help with the boost? What else has to be done if you want to use a metal gasket? |
If they weren't seated properly they will leak. It's less than $30 in parts and only takes and hour or two to change.
