Valve Cover Gasket leaking again....
hi, this is my 3rd time replacing my valve cover gasket in about 3 years now. I just had it replaced about a month ago, and its beginning to leak again in the backside of the pass side engine bay. IDK what to do? I heard these cars dont have a PCV Valve, and not sure what else to look for. Should I try a gasket sealant weatherstrip around the valve cover gasket??

A month ago? If someone else did the job take it back on their dime.
Either the cam cover is not flat any more, or it was tightened too much ... or less likely, too litte.
They are plastic and sometimes one of the ears cracks, and does not hold at all.
edit: whoops ... forgot it is an AJI6.

The captured seal type of gaskets on the AJ16 really shouldn't have any sealer used except on the two half-moon pieces at the rear. The head surface should be clean and completely dry. The cam cover fasteners are shoulder bolts that will only compress the seal just so much.
