I replaced the valve cover gaskets on my Jeep last week. So far it looks to have fixed the problem. No oil smoke from the engine...until today. I did some poking around and maybe the oil pan gasket is leaking now but not sure.
My question is: on an older engine, since I replaced the valve cover gaskets, could that new seal raise the oil pressure, thus causing other bad gaskets to leak?
Picture shows the oil pan and drain plug. The red circles show oil on the (I think) fly wheel cover. The front of the car is left side of picture
