Has anyone done a valve cover gasket on this car? Both of mine are leaking a little bit (185,000 mi) and I can smell the oil burning when it drips onto the exhaust manifold. I was going to give it a shot and I was wondering if there were some instructions anywhere.

I had the same issue - 195k miles. It looks fairly straightforward, but time consuming.

I say "had" because I actually tightened the valve cover bolts and the leak stopped. May want to give that a shot first. A lot of mine were loose to the point that I could tighten it more with my fingers...

Common issue, just tighten down all the bolts and should stop the leak

You guys were right, every one of my valve cover bolts were not even hand tight. I tightened them up. I'll bet that works! Thanks for the info!!!
