3.0L rear oil leak help please
Ok so i took of the intake and changed the valve cover gasket and spark plugs... to my knowlege it seated ok (hard to see that far back) torqued them down to 32inlbs looked good. well driving down the road i see smoke and can smell syn oil backing on exhaust manifold. when i did my inspection i saw nor felt oil around the back side of the valve cover. This doesnt happen when i am idle just driving. any ideas of what i should do? I got gasket from advanced auto.. they were red.

ok so i fixed it.. turns out the back valve cover, needed to be torq down about 5inlb more. the forward 3 bolts were fine... this might be just because of the red feltpro gasket is different from Mopar, I would suggest buying one from mopar, or mitsu dealer. there so much better but allow 3 days for order.
