  • noticed oil leaks going onto the exhaust, then found out that it was leaking from the back of the engine, precisely from the valve cover gasket. here is the process i went through to change it.

      hi man, that little hose connects to the fuel filter, so i bought this universal air filter hose pipe, had to cut it so it would be the same size as the OEM one, then that little hose goes into the red hose

      @pericuros7659 the gasket is rubber. if your old one is hard when you remove it, that that’s a sign that it was due replacement
