Letting my engine cool down after hour drive — then change my oil. Is this a bad sign? Oil seems like it’s seeping out of the engine block? Any advice would help. Thanks

 

Have you done the PCV mod?
The OE PCV is almost always clogged, and pressure builds up and oil leaks out.
The mod is on a sticky, and ever D2 should have this done. It is a remarkable improvement.

 

Looks like the valve cover gaskets are leaking - that is an easy job you can tackle

 

Nope! just saw so I guess i’ll be doing this during the winter

 

exactly what I was thinking sounds - annoying job

 

The PCV mod doesn’t take very long to do. Do it before you do the valve covers. If I had a leak like the amount that I see in the photo, I wouldn’t worry about it very much. You can try snugging up the outboard valve cover bolts without taking anything apart. IIRC it’s a 5/16 12 point socket. You need some disassembly to get at the inboard bolts.
