Valve cover?? V70-XC70 2012

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob on  Wed Feb 22 10:56 CST 2023 [RELATED]

Is there an actual valve cover gasket on this engine?
I have a 2012 Volvo XC70 T6 AWD

Noticed that I had some oil in the spark plug areas in what I believe would be cylinder 5 and 6, all others were dry.

I have 311K on the vehicle and this would be the first major issue I have had with the car.

I have no external leaks around the outside of the Valve Cover to the motor.
And it is getting time to replace the PCV box once again on the car.

Is this a repair a DIY'er can do? Is there a lot involved? what are some of the pit falls of doing this on your own versus a shop? Any special tools for this?

Are there any good how to videos online on how to do this type of repair on this engine?

Let me know. I can't spend big bucks on this...
