Driver’s side breather cover gasket?
Hey guys, been smelling oil when I stop the car and it seems to be leaking onto the exhaust manifold. I had the valve cover gaskets done prior to buying the car and saw some oil on them, which was pretty frustrating. A little more digging and it appears the separate chamber on top of the valve cover has oil seeping out of it and the seal looks pretty worn out. I can’t seem to find the part anywhere? Is it just a sealant applied, and has anyone done it before?

Thanks!

The breathers don't use gaskets, only sealer. You are supposed to use MB sealant and make sure you clean both sides down to the alum/mag and clean w/ brake cleaner. The last time I used Proseal (aviation). Hopefully that will be the last time I have to reseal it.
