Any insight appreciated. I bought this car several years ago with about 130k and the valve cover was just done at that point.
Along the way I had the oil pan and oil filter housing done and it was solid for many miles.
Now at 190k it was leaking again and appeared to be the valvetronic actuator gasket, which I replaced and it did not help.
Did the valve cover gasket again and it's still leaking.
The void beneath the actuator is filled with oil so it seems to be coming from that area rather than the valve cover to head interface.
Has anyone had the actuator itself leak oil? That's what I'm leaning towards at this point but don't want to go that direction if it's not a possibility.
Also noticed the connector at the front of the valve cover is rather corroded.
Any suggestions on that? (Just clean it up?) Thanks!
