just found out that I'm leaking oil from my valve cover gasket. I only took it in because I was smelling burning oil and some smoke coming from under the hood.
It's getting covered by warranty, and service advisor is saying there is a bulletin for it. Has anybody else had this same issue?

Tons of people have had this problem, hence the tsb. =search button... The bolts are loose.

I have an 18 and I have been smelling a burning oil smell from under the hood.

What year is your car?

16 GT - no issue here.

Oil filter drips a little but that’s a separate issue.

Did they fix your issue? Just noticed my valve cover has a dried up oil smudge. Checked my bolts with my fingers and they seem fine. Mine kinda looks like it might be from the pcv cover thing. I don’t even know what it’s called. It’s a little raised section on top of the cover where the pcv is attached to. Mines a 2018.

edit: Just noticed this was from 2020.....
