Ok, today my dad and I took of the engine cover ("2.4L Twin Cam") to check the spark plugs and also to prep and paint it. Before this I was noticing when spot that appeared to be oil near that area (when I was checking around under the hood). So we lift up the cover and see oil, (not a lot, but a good amount) around where the spark plugs and and appear to be coming out of the header. I figured this is normal for 115,000 miles to have to change the gasket (inform me if I'm wrong).

Anyways, where can I find a good gasket, if one is available for the engine, and could someone link me to it. Thank you. :-D

I believe your talking about the cam carrier covers. In which case GM uses a special sealer, not a gasket. Dace uses silicone.

so i would have to buy a special sealer? how much do you think that'll be? is it hard to do? or should i get it professionally done?
