      I've just replaced my valve cover gasket as well, its pretty simple. The gasket is about $30 plus $5-7 for silicone.

      its applied to the corners of the gasket to prevent leaks since the corners of gaskets are prone to leaks. just a precaution

      just a note it needs to be high temp oil resistant silicone, like gasket maker supplied at your local parts store.personally i usually use a little on both sides of the gasket before i put it together as xtra precaution on all my gaskets.

      Sorry to keep this old thread going but I too have discovered oil on spark plug tubes 3 & 4. Everyone says it just a valve cover gasket that needs to be replaced but wouldn't the tube seals also need to be replaced? It looks like that would be the main cause of the oil leak but then again I am no mechanic so the possibilities of me being wrong are pretty good.

      some engines have separate oring gaskets for the spark plug tubes and some just have a 1 piece this is the aveo 1.6, spark plug tubes are sealed with the 1 piece gasketName:  Capture.JPG

      Just look for the spark plugs online, the sites will also tell you the correct gap as well (and on the plugs when you recieve them)

      2008 - Spark Plugs - AVEO - CHEVROLET - SummitRacing.com for example, just google it, you will find a ton of different brands.

      Go by whatever manual says in short

      Though, how does shipping work over there exactly? Do a lot of companies ship to your location?
