It looks like my valve cover is cracked and oil is leaking slightly. Does anyone know a good site to buy one at a discounted price or have one for sale?

Stealership is asking $383 for one from them

Also will this affect performance at all or hurt my engine in any way?

 

How did it crack? It just doesnt crack on its own

 

please post some pics of the crack so that we could give u a better feedback.

 

i had a rubber gruamet (sp) break and oil was leaking at the bolt near the sparkplugs

 

Do you have an oil catch can?

 

You can get this one from z1 auto

I was "watching" one on ebay go for less than 150 dollars. Was going to get it to paint it, but too late. I would check there, unless its really time critical.

 

i would have it welded and then paint it. but its probably not even cracked i bet its leaking around the gasket

 

I bought the car used and when i brought it in for its 30k service the tech pointed out that it looks like the cover was over tighten and its leaking oil a bit. I'll try and get some pics up this this weekend.

sucks!
