It just started to happen since I added some ATF to crankcase to clean some sludge out.
Or it could have been just coincidence but anyways, I noticed smoke coming from the hood, not very pleasant view from the driver seat it was, when test drove my car right after new exhaust valve control solenoid replaced.
I noticed, attached dark image taken at night, that oil would be leaking from back/top side of engine. Which I believe is valve cap cover.
I would like to either DIY to replace the seal or try STOP LEAK additive to cure it with hope it will do the job and not mess the engine. I read about 60% of people saying it works about 40% it won't and it will mess up engine more.
Please advise what to do. Most apparently I have no money to put on fixing at dealer.
