Oil leak on engine

[Wildfire073]

I have a M-274 A5 with the 2 cylinder engine. I have had oil leaking from the area of the rocker arm covers. I resealed the covers, but still have an oil leak. What else in this area leaks or may need a new gasket or seal? Thank you.

You might want to look around the fitting that the oil return line attaches to. I have found that the head will crack here if the fitting is not screwed in properly. It will look like the oil is coming from the valve cover, but it really is running out of a crack in the head around the fitting.

No deep scratches? No deep cuts in the metal?? Did you take off the old gasket that sticks on to the steel? Screws nice and tight?? other then that you might need a special gasket because i use Bill Watsons and they work just fine for me.
