I'm having a little drama with my car right now, basically I changed the valve cover gasket not that long ago & my particular engine is notorious for leaking from the oil cooler housing underneath my exhaust manifold.
I don't have the money or time to A. take it to the garage or B. do it all myself right now, I'm still losing oil but not drastic amounts, I topped it up the other day and stupid me put too much in so I drained some out but now the new valve gasket is leaking.
Anyone know if I should take the valve cover off, clean the surfaces up then re-bolt with the existing gasket seeing as it's new providing I use brake cleaner on the gasket to clear away the oil or should I just get a new gasket?
