Hi all,



Recently, I've noticed a slight burning smell (not electric) and saw this when I looked in the engine compartment. It's not much, but may be the source of the smell.



What do you think?

A closer view:

PCV valve leaking out of the valve cover.



If the tabs are not broken you can replace the PCV. If not, the whole cover needs to be replaced.

After further inspection, I don't believe it's leaking at the PCV Valve. There doesn't seem to be any evidence of leaking at that point. Looks more like the valve cover gaskets...
