2012 valve cover gasket leak
 
Hey, just had the replaced and wanted to see if anyone had any issues with their valve cover leaking?

It started on mine at about 16,000. Took it in and they put due in the oil, td me to bring it back when the next oil change was due. Took it back in about 3K later and no leak.

Took it back in at 26,000 miles with the same leak. Dealer said it was such a slow leak they would have to check to see if it would be covered under warranty?!?!?! Gave them a piece of my mind and they replaced the gasket.

With that said, has anyone else had a leak? Here us a quick photo.

I have what looks like some oil around the plugs/coils on top of the engine. I'm going to have the dealer take a look at it with me in the bay so I can see what they find when they pull the coils off.
