As for the valve covers... would it be obvious if they were leaking too? Anyone have any pics to reference?

thx
If the lines on top of the engine are bad, they will be more like putty than rubber. If those lines are bad it's also a good idea to replace the line that goes form the oil sep back into the engine. That is the hard one because it's behind the engine. You'll want to do it when the engine is stone cold (first thing in the morning).

It's not really that bad. I did it without taking the firewall out (didn't realize it came off at the time) so it was tight; but, I got it done.
