First post. Valve cover gasket which led to a fuel injector o ring blow out. Next will be finishing the rest of the oil leak issue. It seems to be coming from around the oil filter... Changed to oil to full synthetic looks like previous owners had traditional. I’ve heard this can cause the leakage.

You think best option is to remove the rubber trim and prevent the rust? Or is that something you can just clean out occasionally?
