Okay, I've confirmed that my valve cover gaskets are leaking oil (probably caused by the infamous clogged suction pump). It may be two weeks before I can get in there and change them out along with new spark plugs, breather hose and suction pump because of the weather here. We've been hit with icy weather so I'm hoping to get to work when it warms up.
My question is this: How long can you drive the car with leaking blown valve cover gaskets?

 

if its a small leak then not a problem but if large enough to make you worry then don't use it, Ive seen cars run for years with a cam cover leak only because the owners were too lazy/greedy to fix it

 

Thanks for the quick response.

 

hey i drove mine for 5 months before i got mine fixed. i was sooo lazy... haha
