valve cover leaking?

[irondiezl3]

so there are a couple spots i notice my valve cover has some oil leaking out of it. im wondering is it easy enough to just take ot off and change out the gasket or should i just use the tube of gasket repair stuff since the 2 spots are small and leaking a small amount of oil?

remove the cover and do it right? i just did a complete headgasket job in a blizzard..... no one has an excuse not to do things right

Front or back?

[irondiezl3]

front lol i just did my belt tensioner in a blizzard but theres no comparisson that tensioner was easier than doing my damn plugs. so yea the front one which looks like cake except for that tube thats going accross it looks like that will be a pain in the ass to remove?

That is some kind of coolant tube.

IDK if there are gaskets for that. If so, they are probably just "O" rings
