HELP!! Oil Leak from valve cover!
I had the compcams 280's put in on friday and i drove it home, and left it in the garage over night, next morning there was a puddle. I found the leak to be comming from the back of the valve cover from a factory hole. see the pictures. What i would like to know is if there is a plug on the inside of the hole (in the valve cover) it would make sense that oil should not just come out of there.Thanks guys (sorry about the bad microsoft paint)
the first pic is the hole in relation to the valve cover (back left)

the hole, what is it and why would there be oil comming out of it

its a 2005 with 280 cams turboback, intercooler piping intake BOV and dynotune

It is a drain hole for the spark plug gallery. So, if you remove the plug cover you should discover oil in the gallery. The way the oil gets there is by either the fill cap or the valve cover gasket leaking. You may need to invest in a new gasket.
