in the back of the valve cover is an approx. 1/2 tube with a vacuum line on it,
if you remove the line the oil separator is inside the tube on the valve cover. it can be removed with needle nose pliers, but they can also break trying to get them out.
so first I try cleaning it with carb cleaners

Good info, thank you drowssap and FranceOffroad.


Ninjaff21, I would say tighten it first and see if your leak persists, then change it if it continues. Also, if you can pull your viscous fan off that would allow you to really spot your oil leak.


Thanks,
Dane.

when you say carb cleaners do you mean doing something like a sea foam?
