I seem to have an oil leak from the front of my valve cover... (It's slowly leaking from the hole on the front face of 2.0L engine near the third bolt beside the timing belt cover.) ... I'm guessing it's an overflow hole for the oil. First I figured maybe I had too much oil in the engine... but I've lowered the level to almost the minimal, and still it drips... So I was reading and maybe it’s a pressure problem... I’m gonna try changing my pcv valve, and hose that attaches to it and see if that’s the problem... but, till then I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas... Oh and it didn't start doing it till I changed my valve cover gasket, and spark plugs.

This may not be happening for you, but oil can leak from the oil filler cap, collect in the valve cover, and then leak out the drain hole. frown

Check under the spark plug cover (if you have one), see if that area is oily. You may have a leaky oil fill cap. There is a gasket on it that can be replaced. cool

Hope this sheds some light... smile

Any Chrysler dealer can get you one for about $3.
