Driver Side Valve Cover Has Oil on it.

[MarkM98]

I replaced the spark plugs on my Raptor today. When I pulled the engine cover off I noticed that there is oil sitting on the valve cover. It was above the coil packs kind of close to the intake runner for the first cylinder. My question is, has anyone here replaced the valve cover on their own Gen 2 Raptor? I have found only 1 video on YouTube of a guy replacing one on his Gen 2 Raptor, but it was not the best on showing what all needs to be removed to just get the valve cover off. I’m almost thinking about taking it to the dealer to have them mess with it. I would rather not spend that kind of money for a valve cover. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

I have not replaced a valve cover yet but the driver side leaking is super common on the gen 2s... I think the part is only like $80 or so and apparently the issue is rectified with the new part but I'm not positive about that. Can't help with the video, sorry.

Mine does the same thing in the same area. Apparently it is very common as there is a small crack that develops towards the front inner side of the valvecover. I’m going to attempt JB welding mine, and see if it holds.

Is there oil UNDER the valve cover is the important question!

It is just on top of mine, appearing to be leaking from a small hairline crack.
