Hi,

I had a pretty nasty oil leak recently that caused smoke to come out the engine. I identified it to be a leaky valve cover gasket. As a result, I changed out the valve cover and gasket. After driving for a couple days , there is no more leak except a drip stain near the engine oil cap? Could it just be a leaky cap or something to do with the Pcv valve?? ( but I replaced the valve cover too). I went ahead and bought a new engine oil cap from the dealership. Hopefully that will fix it but any thoughts why ??

Thanks

N52k? Also did the new valve cover come with the valvetronic seal?
