I have a 02 X and the valve covers were leaking so bad it was dripping on the exhaust manifold and smoking like crazy. So I took it to an all maintenance tire shop and got there crazy high estimate to change it so I decided I would do it my self. I went to take the passenger side valve cover off and noticed all of the bolts holding it on were loose. So I tightened them all down wiped all the oil that I could off the manifold and here i am 6 months later no leaks or smoking. I got lucky because I did not want to have to take the intake manifold off to access the driver side valve cover.
