The cylinder head cover is sealed with a rubber gasket.

The fuel injector mounting bolts are also sealed with rubber rings.

If tightening the bolts does not eliminate the oil leak, then the gasket or rings must be replaced.

To replace the gasket, you will need the following tools: pliers, a 10 mm socket, a plastic mounting spatula, and a flat-blade screwdriver.

Prepare the car for the job. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
