2011 C30 T5 Valve Cover Gasket

Post by Pretribrapper »

Kind of new to this 2.5 motor here but my local shop told me they saw some seepage from my valve cover on the car and that I need to replace the gasket with a new liquid gasket yet I don't see any videos online that show me how to do. I have seen some say that this car doesn't have a "valve cover" but it is actually a cam cover. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
