Yutan, ne
Im presuming i have a bad valve cover gasket as there is lots of oil around the plugs... anyone think i should replace the gaskets? Also anyone know what that tube is called that goes from the driverside cover to the bottom of the engine?

First make shure your valve covers bolts are tight, if not buy some blue locktight, and all new grommits for the valve covers. Secound make shure your 3 14mm allen key plugs for your head under the number 3 valve cover gasket are not leaking. (theyre right next to your spark plugs.) Third the hose is called Ventilation Hose #3

this is the part # for the hose 12263-42010, here is the link to the picture http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=1201&P=2
here is the valve cover gromits part # 90210-07001 youll need 12 in total. The link http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=1104&P=1

Theres a post somewhere here how to check the 14mm allen key plugs but i cant remember so you got search for it. This is a comon issue and always get forgotten about. And also if you number 3 valve cover hasnt broken yet it probibaly will if you take it off, so be preparde but you dont need it.
