Leaking valve cover...
I have a 2011 Accord crosstour 3.5l, and I recently replaced my valve cover gaskets. The reason behind the rear cover was leaking down into the spark plug tubes.. just to give you some perspective I've always done my own mechanic work because that's what I do for a living. Anyway I installed all the new valve cover gaskets and seals. However now the front valve cover is leaking, it was not before but it is now. The leak at the rear was resolved with the new gasket. So I figured maybe a faulty gasket i did get the cheaper set. So I bought another valve cover gasket kit this time I went for the Fel-pro, and I replaced the front gasket again and for whatever reason it is still leaking. It's not a really bad leak but I feel like it shouldn't be leaking at all. Short of taking it back apart and using a ton of RTV, I don't know what to do. Is there any recommendations or has anyone else encountered this problem.
