Oil leak passanger side valve cover?
I took a quick peak under the air inlet box on top of the valve cover to see how tight the spark plug and wire changout will be and notice a pretty good amount of oil and dirt gunked on the top portion of the valve cover? Anyone know what this may be? Is it just the valve cover needing a little tightening or is there something else potentially going wrong here? '02 C32.

RTV can mean two things....one is make sure you tighten things to the right trq, and the other is a silicone based sealant used in gasket making.
At any rate, I would bring her in for another opinion....
My friend, usedc32, went through the same thing, maybe he can help.

Here's the thread from before...I assume this is where you are leaking oil?

Sure enought that looks to be similar to what I am experiencing. I still have a few months left on a CPO warranty and I'm gonna bring it up to the dealership to see if they wount pull, clean and re-seal it first.
