I've got a really bad oil-burning smell in my 30v. I took out the lid of my Airbox and MAF and took a couple pics.
This one looks like the valve cover gasket needs to be replaced. I think this is where most of it is coming from but how it is getting into the airbox, I don't know. all the clips were secure.

This is a picture of the rear of the passenger side valve cover and it has freshly deposited oil on the back of the engine. It looks like it would drip down to the exhaust pipe.

Also, does anyone have a picture or diagram to show where the PCV valve is on the 30v. I want to see if that is clogged.
Thanks

also the valve vover gaskets and cam seals
where are you located?

They've already been replaced once.
I'm in Alabama. How much would it cost for parts and labor just to get an idea and how would you rate it for a DIY?

I'd do cam adjuster seals and VCG seals since those can be done rather easily and without some serious deconstruction.....
