Reply With QuoteHad the same happen to me, found oil in the spark plug holes, valve cover gasket had had it. Not a bad idea to change the half moon seal under the cam chain tensioner too if your having oil leaks. Do you know who did the stage 1 tune?

Couldn't resist the urge, so purchased a Podi Dual function, Boost and Oil Temp gauge,
Was looking into triple function Autron gauge, buut that didn't work out.
Have a pillar mount coming from Greg (Carformance) soon.
Also, this happened when I went to have a look at the spark plugs....
So off with the walve cover, dirty 20v topless shot, with culprit dodgy valve cover seal.
Also re-mounted the coil pack Amp back on the airbox after some muppet left it hanging in the back of the engine bay.

All sorted on the leak, strangely only the spark plug 'wells' had oil in them, the rest of the valve cover didn't leak at all.Originally Posted by danegti
But I replaced it with this kit from GAP,
Is that the half moon seal you were talking about?
I believe "Peak RPM" did the stage 1 tune, which is uses revotechnik software (if I'm reading this receipt correctly)

No, one the passenger side of the motor there is another semicircle shaped seal the same as the one on the valve cover gasket but located under the cam chain tensioner, its quite prone to failing and leaking oil all over the gearbox and such.All sorted on the leak, strangely only the spark plug 'wells' had oil in them, the rest of the valve cover didn't leak at all.

Played around with the 42DD pillar pod mounts, these DO NOT fit directly as shown, they require mods.
You can see how much of the molded plastic needs to be 'persuaded/trimmed' to eliminate the dreaded gap.
Attaching to pillar (glue and tape)
And in the car, still need to hook up Oil temp,
Also, stole a pancake off my car, replaced with this
