Here is what the front valves look like:













And this is where i think the leak may be coming from. This picture is right underneath the S/C blower:








What do you guys think? Do you think the recall has been performed already?

Looks like the recall may have been done already. Looks like they removed the stupid plastic piece.

You have had your valve cover bolt grommets replaced at one time for sure. So chances are, the gaskets have been done as well.

The mess you see up by your injectors looks to me like every other car that has cracked LIM gaskets. If it gets any worse, you will start to see coolant puddling around your injectors.

Easy fix...takes a few hours to complete. Basic hand tools, and new gaskets. Only thing you need that might be considered a special tool is a torque wrench.
