Oil leak, Valve cover gaskets? or something else?
I have had a small seep oil leak from the top of the motor; it’s heavier on the passenger side, since I bought the truck. About 3 months ago we had the tranny out to replace a flywheel (junk starters, spend the extra $20) and we thought it was the rear main, nope, dry. So upon closer inspection I see it starts at the valve cover gaskets on both side, passenger side having a heavier leak.
My question is how hard is it to replace these? I know the basics is simple, but what all has to come off the top of the motor to get to all the bolts and have these bad boys off to put some new gaskets on? Or, could it be that my thought is wrong and the leak is from somewhere else?
The spots on the driveway are getting bigger and I want to do this sooner than later while I have the $funds$ to do it. Thanks in advance.
