ok, i changed my oil today. it was fine, just black. so decided to take the valve cover off. and putting it back on i kinda dropped and some seal fell off. it was a metal washer i think.

well i put the cover back on, i made sure that the seals for the spark plug hole, and the seal around the whole cover was on good.

i found that washer thing and put it back on.

then i popped my hood because i smelled oil. and theres a small puddle around the 3rd and 4th plug hole. i soaked it up, and drove again. same problem.

what is up? am i missing something? or are the seals bad?

im going to check again tomorow, just wanted some insight tonight.
