I have a lot of oil leaking out of engine. It looks like it is coming out of the, what I would call the valve cover. I don't see any bolts to take valve cover off. All I see is a couple of star screws going in the top of cover. The whole top of engine is getting oil all over and running down sides. Can you suggest what I can do? My email address is pfollis12@comcast. Net. Thanks.

You would have to remove the valve cover to replace the gasket and plug seals.
The engine cover is secured by hex-key bolts. You have to remove those to get the cover off.
