    Small but annoying oil leak... Did I miss something?

    I had a small oil leak somewhere on the top of the cylinder / cylinder head (its kinda hard to tell exactly which is why Im posting this). So I replaced the valve cover gasket, adjusted the valves, retorqued the head bolts, cleaned it all up and lo-and -behold, its still leaking (even though the old gasket fell apart upon removal). So are the some type of crush washers or O-rings that I should've replaced ?

    Pull up the parts fiche for the "cylinder head" and you'll see two O-rings (#17) that seal that tower looking seal nut (#14)... that's a common leak area.

          I pulled the cover and changed the o rings. One had obviously been leaking. Thanks guys for your help.

            I wonder if that is where my leak is coming from now. It's right there in the middle as well.
