I was doing the oil pan because I’m taking it off to replace the rear main and there was oil residue alone the edges of the valve cover gaskets as well. Not necessarily a newbie when it comes to maintenance. I’m a full time UH60 mechanic here in Utah and I’m just putting forth a “fix the small things now before they become bigger issues” mentality. I would rather throw a hundred bucks into replacing multiple gaskets than running dry and having to replace something bigger I won’t be able to afford right away. Plus most of this work is in the same general area so why not give her something new
