that picture about was cylinder #6, which is by the driver side corner.

The entire valve cover was replaced on the driver side, I checked the passenger side and it was bone dry so only the driver side that was leaking was replaced.

Yeah I'm out of warranty which blows and mine has 106k. I was hoping the spudering was coming from a fouled spark plug. I thought I was right until I reached that last cylinder on the passengers side of the car. I was like FML...

Are you comfortable with basic hand tools? If so the installation is relatively easy. It just takes a while and you have to be very careful as you will have to remove a lot of little stuff to get to the valve cover. I'd say it's a 3/10 on the difficulty scale. If you're going to do that buy a 1 7/8" hole saw bit and fix your original cover with just the seals.

Ok cool. I'm pretty good with my hand tools. I saw a DIY for the drilling and installing the seals but is there one for removing the valve covers?
