Damn it broke valve cover or something
 
Some How i either cracked or put a hole on the backside of the passenger side plastic valve cover because now i have some oil coming out when its running

how hard is this to replace...im guessing that the stud that holds the a/c box on the firewall hit it...i dont know where at exactly because i have the bull the cab back some so i can see it..

the studs on the firewall that hold the a/c box on hit it when i was putting the cab back on...guess this is the consequences of trying to do everything by myself
