Did the the valve covers gaskets twice on my car not long ago at 100k due to oil leaking in the spark plug holes. And now I got oil coming out of 1 of the lower valve cover bolts . Never did it before but does it now. So the 1st replacement was a felpro so I changed it again with oem. Still doing it. Anything I can seal this bolt with with out removing the cover.Not gonna pull it apart a 3rd time. Also got some drippage comping from the filler neck o ring. Wished I knew at the time I woulda did it. Any cheap fixes I refuse to remove these valve covers again it was a pita.

Is the bolt at the front?
Supposedly, this might do it, but I doubt it: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AXYZG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Shortcuts hardly ever work for problems like this.

Hydrostatic pressure leaks always need to be plugged from the inside, does not work when plugging from the outside.
Same thing applies when people try and stop water coming into their basements by smearing all sorts of snake oil products on the bricks from the insides ... simply does not work. Never has, never will. Pressure wins every time.

I tried some Seal All for the hell of it. If it don't work it can stay this way lol. I figured worth a shot but doubt this will work. This car blows already. Don't understand how it's coming out of the bolt hole. Other then time it's a straight forward job.
