I pulled off my intake about a month ago to replace my coils. Kicking myself for not checking the valve covers when I had a chance. Anyways, now the passenger side valve cover appears to be leaking oil. Is there a way to get to the interior valve cover screws without removing the intake? Maybe with a flexible bit extension?

 

Not likely in my eyes, but maybe.

I have had luck with only tightening the outside VC bolts before, so I'd try that first. Otherwise, at least you get pretty quick at pulling the intake after you've done it a few times. Haha

 

Ugh. I was afraid that was the answer. Oh well - practice makes perfect!
