leaky valve cover

[camoweasel]

After reinstalling my engine for my Webcam swap, I noticed that the valve cover is weaping oil in a few different areas. Without taking off the valve cover, is there any easy ways to seal the valve cover?? I used a gasket maker but doesn't seem to be working and figured there's another way to try and seal it before taking off the cover once again? Its not leaking bad, but after a long ride, the top of the engine gets a tad bit oily and smokes once it hits the header pipe. Not a big deal, but I just want to try and stop it.

NO. You need to take it off. Clean the head and cam cover gasket surfaces. Use a thin quality silicone, I use 1104 3M,it's what the factories use. I believe it is $9 retail. Torque those little suckers carefully,they break easy! Set your valves again. Then it's fixed and fixed right!
