My engine is seeping oil out of the left side end cap of the valve cover. Its actuall leeking out of both sides but more prominently out of the left. When I pulled my engine apart this winter I didnt touch the rockers at all. In fact the only thing I did do is install new o-rings onto these rocker end caps.
I have the valve cover off now and Im looking around for leaks but I dont se anything obvious. I think it could be a loose tower puck but those dont really seem to be in such bad shape. Any other place I should look at while I have this think open?
Edit: I just found these two old posts and Im off to reinspect for wear:

This was the one shaft that was leaking the most, although Im not positive this is the answer to my problem. Some of the pucks appear to be a bit loose so I will re-glue them with some high tack sealent and hope for the best. One positive thing is that the shafts appear to be centered with no gaps of obvious deformaty visible.
