hopefully the valve cover. I saw a post about custom paint work on the valve cover and was considering it. New valve cover gasket + tube seals will hopefully do the trick.
hopefully NOT the rocker o-rings. How hard would that be to replace? Is there any way to tell if its this before replacing the vc gasket and tube seals?
