I just discovered an oil leak on my 1995 E320 with 92K miles. It is located high on the front of the motor on the passenger side. There is some oil on the front bolt that holds the manifold. Is this the site of a typical valve cover gasket leak, rather than a head gasket? How much does it typically cost for just a valve cover gasket vs. a head gasket repair? I typically use the dealer, so I am sure my price will be on the high side.

I think it might be like always going back to that same bad relationship with an ex girlfriend.
You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
