valve cover gasket
The valve cover gasket is a small rubber or metal seal that keeps engine oil from leaking where the top part of the engine meets the cover. If it’s damaged, oil can drip onto the engine and create a mess.
The valve cover gasket seals the joint between the engine block and the valve cover, preventing oil from leaking out of the cylinder head area.
