Engine Oil Leak: Anyone Know How To Stop It?
It appears to me that I've got some oil leaking from my engine block on the top. It's not a ton, but it's just a hassle. Is there any simple way that I could fix this? I'm new to all this, so pardon me if I'm completely wrong/asking a stupid question. Thanks.

It seems as though there are a couple potential spots that are leaking on your valve cover. One is the line that is a thicker line to the throttle body. To fix this replace the line, add small clamps to said line. The other spot could be your pvc valve. If it's leaking there ( the other similar sized line towards the rear of the valve cover) Check and replace the line along with the pvc valve with the grommet as well. Basically "see where there's oil coming out? replace the faulty part"

looks like you are leaking from the PCV valve grommet. costs a few pennies at the store....get a new PCV valve while you are at it....about $6. those grommets get brittle and hard.....PCV gets clogged. good cheap insurance.....good easy job to do too
