hello!
I have one last issue... maybe a neglectable/minor one in your eyes, but I dont want to surrender!

As you see above, I#ve replaced the valve cover gaskets.

After the first test drive, I noticed some oil dripping from the lower corner at the left bottom.
OK, after cooling down, I retorqued the nuts.
Astonishingly, most of them felt like they really needed a retorque, still 10Nm (how's that?!).

Today, I did the second test drive... and comimg back, again, I found that drip!!
What worries me is, that the head is oilwet from BEHIND.
So the oil does not leak through the outer edges of the gasket.
May it leak through the "center" of the valvecover?
Should I take it off and check its alignment on a glass?
Or do I have a more worrying issue (cylinderhead)?!
