I have a bad oil leak that seems to be coming from the passenger side. I thought it was the valve cover gaskets, so I put new gaskets in. After finishing I started my 4runner up and it is still leaking. Any suggestions?
p.S. It only leaks if I have been driving it. If it sets for a couple days it doesn't leak.

Hi there,

give it a good wash down and go for a short drive, or just run it and watch, you may have pinched the new gasket, don't drive it to far before checking as you just want the leak to be visible enough to see where it is coning from.
