[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 610105, member: 20098"] It is perfectly normal for there to be oil under the valve cover, but what you have described does sound excessive - unless the van is parked leaning over to one side? Assuming you were doing this on a cold engine, the only issue I could think of would be that there is a slight blockage in the push rod tubes which was stopping oil from draining away. You could probably get away with unbolting the rockers, sliding the push rods out ( keep them in cylinder order) and then shine a torch down each push rod tube to ensure there is nothing obvious like a push rod seal come adrift.
