I know where it's leaking, but.....
Okay, to start, there is a small oil leak that drips on my manifold and causes a stinking burnt oil smell when I drive.
I pulled out the airbox and can see where it's dripping. It's the passanger side.
It looks like it's leaking from the very back of the valve cover dripping on the exhaust RIGHT where the manifold bolts to the exhaust pipe (l0oks like a small collector) just before the O2 sensor.
On searching here I know it will be either the vavle cover gasket or the Cam seal (I'm not sure yet where it's located). I just don't know which it is!
Can you guys shed some light here for me? Thank you!
EDIT: Here are some pics. Not the best though....

Alright, I got a small mirror and got a good look at what is leaking. On the back of that head there is a round black (plastic I think) cap.
Looking at my 4th picture, you can see where it would be because someone put white silicone around it to stop the leaking I guess. You guys know what that black cap is?

Apperantly I've found out that the leak is coming from my rear camshaft end cap. The guy I spoke to said that it's not difficult to replace. He said that I remove the valve cover, loosen the rear bearing cap and pop it out and replace it. The I just retorque everything back and I'm good!
sound right to you guys?
