Ok so my valve cover gasket was leaking so.I went ahead and replaced it over the weekend and drove it around no leaks or smell however this morning I noticed a bit of oil by the nuts on the cover and a slight oil smell in the cabin wen I was sitting still at a light I checked the nuts to see if they were tightened properly and they were any ideas on why it would be leaking?

 

What brand of gasket did you use, and what did you torque the VC nuts to?
