Default VALVE COVER Help!
So my engine valve cover is leaking very little oil... My mechanic is charging me 100$ to change the gasket which seems to be bad.... Is this a bad price? I'm from Miami Florida. Also should I worry about it? It's very minimal or is due time an I should do it already

Get some RTV silicone and put a small bead around the outer edge of the seal if your on a tight budget.
