Valve Cover Leaks
Hello members, this is my first post.
My '93 f150 with 5.0L 103K miles is leaking oil at the valve covers. I have snugged all bolts but the ones under the intake. How do I get at these Thanks for your help.

Why not try removing the intake and valve covers. Then replace the gaskets?

Guess I may have to. I think the gaskets are ok. Found a lot of the valve cover bolts loose. Just wanted to snugg them up, but I can't get to the ones under the intake manifold.

You may have to remove the upper intake manifold to get to them? I have never removed my intake from my mustang so I am not sure? You would have to get new gasket for that if so.. I am sure youwill figure it out.
