Re: Oil leak around filler cap

[Bob Hadden <kbhadden@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,  Simply remove the filler.  Then remove the plastic piece that  
stays in the valve cover.  Clean all parts and remove the two 0-rings  
for cleaning also.  Assemble all clean and you should be leak free.   
If not, new 0-rings could be in order, but I think most people who  
replace these o-rings really didn't need to.  I went 40k miles with  
no leak, and the other guys I saw with leaks were easily fixed with a  
good cleaning.
