Message	ok ok my first plenum pull to fix a valve cover leak and i must have not sealed it very good lost most of my oil driving last night. Pulled it off this morning and low and behold the drivers side exhaust did not seal right, used red rtv, and it didn't hold. What was really interesting though was that there was oil that had seeped under the new paper plenum gasket i put in. The gasket was bought at an auto parts store and i noticed that the OEM one had a sealed side and the one from the parts store had no sticky side.. What went wrong???
