my car blows oil bigtime

don't the valve cover gaskets tend to go bad on the MKIII's? thats what i heard anyway

Yes, they tend to go bad. They are fairly cheap. I saw them on a website for under $30. I just forgot where the website was. Ill try to find it and post it up. Now if thats not ur problem, and you have a turbo and ur stock, oil is a common thing in the IC pipes and not something you should worry about unless its excessive. But if you think its a problem, just install a catch can.

I believe my valve covers also need to be replaced. Either that or some other crazy oil leak coming from the valve cover area

. I am turbo as well.

I am an ameature, would I be able to install new valve covers with a few buddies who have more experience working on cars?

And if you could please do post that site for the cheap valve covers.
