Found out my RH valve cover gasket is leaking; smells like oil when I go for drives, noticed it my last oil change. Does this necessitate engine removal to repair? I looked up the labor time on Mitchell ProDemand when I was at work and it was something like 11.6 hours so I assume that means engine-out but I was wondering if there might be a work-around?

 

There is a pretty good thread on RennList

Wanted to follow up on this since some people were searching my posts after viewing my FS ad; I am fairly certain it is minor seepage from a spark plug tube seal or seals because after cleaning the oil off and monitoring it the valve cover has remained dry for a good long while. I'm keeping an eye on it.
