Front valve cover gasket
I went to the mountains this weekend for some snowboarding an after climbing the 1370 feet to the bottom of the hill i smelled burning oil. At first i didnt think anything of it, but then i just thought id check, and it was mine from the front outer corner of the front gasket. But it only leaked while climbing so the rest of the trip it was fine just the three times iI went up to the mountain. Anyone else have the valve covers leak, just wondering, I know why they leaked while climbing only , I just thought id ask.

I just purchased a set for my '01 SSEi. I just returned from the garage after opening the box. I was curious. My set looks just like the picture posted by 1fatcat. I tried turning one inside out but the way fatcat1 shows them is the way they go.

Excuse me. I meant n/a white bonne, not 1fatcat, displayed the same design I purchased. Both gaskets are very different. I guess I'll find out this weekend.
