My 94 Supra TT has been leaking a little oil at the Valve cover for some time.

When I took off the valve covers to replace the gaskets around 130,000 miles I discovered the valve covers where just loose on the inside corner nuts.

I replaced the gaskets anyway and put it all back together. Be sure and order new valve cover breather (crossover) hoses before you start because they are usually brittle and your local Toyota dealer does not stock them. Try Champion Toyota 800-327-2087 ask for Jeff.
If you don't mind me asking, did you use fipg when you reassembled, as per the tsrm procedure? Also, did you replace all of the grommets that seal each bolt & stud+nut?

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
