Big Blue: 2005 GMC Yukon Denali

The victor reinz valve cover gasket I just put into my M3 leaks too. I even took it apart a second time cleaning the shit out of everything and using RTV along the bottom where it leaked, didn't help. I'm going to replace it with an OE one eventually. After doing some reading, I found this was a fairly common issue with this brand, at least on my car.

Oh, this leak doesn't actually appear to be coming from the valley pan. I did this work trusting that a shop's diagnosis was correct... and I am not so sure now. The leak is lower than the valley pan/valve covers from what I can tell.

VR has always been good for me, I've used their valve cover gaskets on BMWs for years. I did go with an Elring head gasket on the M3 versus VR as I heard better things about Elring for that application.
