Got a quick and probably easy question, but here it is:
My friends RS Turbo develops puddles of oil in the middle of the valve cover (where the spark plugs reside) What is the proper torque settings for the valve cover? They're all pretty tight. And does this just sound like a valve cover gasket problem or what? I wasnt sure if this would have anything to do with the problem but the fourth (farthest to left) spark plug seems to have oil developed around the threads everytime we pull it, maybe the spark plug isnt sealing right and oil is leaking through the threads into the middle area?? -------------------- 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

i have seen a-lot of those oil-filler gaskets go bad and let a puddle of oil set in the cover, that would be a cheaper fix, check it out man
