Valve Cover Gasket Leaking
I noticed some oil on the driveway and when I looked under the hood I noticed oil around the valve cover gasket. Anyone know what it costs to get the gasket replaced? My truck is the 2001 SE.

Re: Leaking Head Gasket
That's not going to be cheap. Are you 100% sure it's not coming from above the head at the valve cover gasket? That would be a lot cheaper to fix.

Re: Leaking Head Gasket
Can't find any good pictures on line. I will have to take one after work but I am pretty sure that is what it is. There is oil around it. At lunch today when I started it up and drove it home I noticed smoke - opened up the hood and there was smoke coming from where that back spark plug is where oil had dripped into it.
