Very aggrivating leak...
Passengers side leaks oil and its dripping right onto the exhaust and burning up. White smoke and nasty smell. It appeared to be a valve cover so I replaced it. It did NOT stop. Any other ideas on a cause? My oil doesn't appear to be dropping very bad at all I haven't had to fill it in a while using full synthetic valvaline max life. I check it daily. So the leak is tiny but creates tons of smoke.

I would think the tensioner seal too. Valve cover gaskets are a tough one to get perfect so double check your work. If it's not residual oil that is just making it's way down there. Get a mirror and fish it down the back of the cover and see where the whole mess is starting. Could try using a degreaser and clean the crap out of there, which is what i did and helped me with future diagnostic issues.

Mine was the half moon seal. If you take it to big o tires they'll put die in it for $10 drive for a day and take it back that's how I found my leak. The printed me that diagram as well.

That's the whole kit for my car. I bought that. And am waiting for warmer weather to fix it.

You you have a link for the cam seals? I have the leak on the driver side by the firewall so the tensioner is on the other side at the front, but there is still a seal on the side I have a leak correct? (non tensioner side).
Do I need to remove the cam? Doubtful I am guessing.
Thanks
