I have an E500 with 95k miles and the dealer showed me that the valve cover gaskets were leaking slightly. To my surprise he quoted $660 US to replace them. I think that include some pipes and pvc. Sounded outrageous to me. Why can't I just torque the cover down a bit? And why are they leaking. I put 150k miles on my previous Acura RL and never had a leak...actually hardly any problems at all.
