When you received the kit, did you tighten every line before installing it?

thats really strage to have it leaking out of the valve cover if you didn't touch it. I can honestly say i have no idea what to tell you.

If oil is coming out of the valvecover it sounds like your lines are blocked somewhere.Did you stuff anything in the drain hole at the oilpan during install.

no certain way, because those holes line up with the groove in the fitting that goes around the holes.
