I'm driving a 1990 GMC Sierra with a 5.7L motor.
I've got oil pooling up on the top of the motor on either side of the carburetor.
Where is this oil coming from?
All of my efforts to solve the problem have been on the driver's side of the motor. To date, I've tried resolving the problem by:
From some other forums, I've seen people describe similar problems. (Sadly none of them had pictures to confirm the same issue.) The few responses I found suggested pulling the bolts on either side of the leak, coating them in black Permatex and reinstalling them. Is that the correct solution?

All of my efforts to solve the problem have been on the driver's side of the motor. To date, I've tried resolving the problem by:
- Changing the valve cover gasket
- Removing the tube you see in the attached file, checking it for cracks/holes (none found) and reinstalling it with new thread tape.
