goobernoodles Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I noticed I was leaking some oil from the upper rear of my engine the other day and upon investigating I realized that one of the valve cover bolts was semi-loose and wouldn't tighen. Pulled it out and the bolt looks fine, but some metal shreds came out with it... Has anyone ran into this before? I assume I need to re tap and get a slightly larger bolt?
