Oil leak

[jabber]

Right now I know where the oil is leaking from does anyone know if this rubber gasket can be replaced without taking off the whole valve cover

Its simply a round rubber ring, I believe you can gently pull out the sensor (not by the cable) twist it gently. The rubber ring will come out and the new one POP in.
