The front black smooth rectangular area of the valve cover is getting extremely hot to the touch after few minutes of the engine running.
It seems like oil is burning inside. It did not get that hot before. The gaskets start to leak as well despite being replaced not long ago.
what causes pressure to build inside the engine if the temperature on the gauge is normal and assuming MBII is not working
