I just replaced my valve cover, gasket and both gaskets for oil filter housing. Have a tiny amount of oil in the small metal shield that sits directly below the boost solenoids after valve cover replacement. Really hope this is residual oil from previous leak.
One thing that messed me up is when you search torque sequence for the 30+ bolts you get the same guys image posted and shared again and again online. As I am told this is incorrect and should start from the middle before tightening outside bolts. Do hope this hasn't caused valve cover not to seat correctly would hate to redo. So if you follow this it should be done in reverse #1 would be the last bolt you tighten.
