Oil in valve cover front holes
Hello, i was adjusting the tps, and when i finish connecting everything i saw oil in the 2 holes in front of the valve cover. What can be?

I read here that u should take the TB out to clean it. I take out the 3 bolts and 1 nut and its does not move. Is there another bolt? I do not wanna break something trying to take it out. Its my DD. Thanks in advance

When i get home, gonna try to upload it. The holes are in the top of the valve cover in front. The the sides. The Oil cap is in the middle and one hole in each side. Sorry if i cant explain well. Im gonna try to upload a picture. Another question, does the TB is supposed to get out easy or are more things attach than the 2 lines of coolant?

sounds like the valve cover grommets are leaking. Might be time for a valve cover gasket change.
Could just also be residual oil from an oil change that didn't make it into the oil cap. Wipe it down and see if it returns.
Could also be a leaking oil cap as well.
What ever you do, do not tighten down on those acorn nuts.
If you do end up changing them make sure you get the one that has the grommets because you can also buy the gasket separately.

Edit, You might have to special order the grommets by themselves from autozone but for the price difference, your just better off getting the entire kit.:
