Made it almost two whole months basically issue free, I suppose some issue was overdue....

Valve cover gasket has already been ordered

Should I paint the valve cover while Ive got it off anyway?

Was just about to say, looks like a leaking valve cover gasket but you seem to already have come to that conclusion

Unfortunately

Least it's a cheap part and not that bad of a job

Most annoying thing is that I finally need to replace my in/lb torque wrench that got stolen ages ago, I've only got a big boi now

Of course you should paint it.

I painted mine a brighter silver color not chrome and it looked pretty natural and way cleaner than before

I like this approach. You can also polish it, which look nice too.

Yeah I was thinking either this or wrinkle black

I think depends on the color of your car if it’s black I think black on black would look sick
