    So where is it coming from? If it's on top of the valve cover, I doubt it's going to be a big deal financially. And make sure everything is plugged in OK including the PVC and hose.

    If it's not leaving drips on the ground and you're not seeing a loss on the dipstick, I'd let it go. A little seepage isn't that big of a deal in my opinion.
