Hello all,
I have a 1997 mercruiser 5.7, leaking oil from the rubber groment that the 90 degree fitting plugs into for crank case pressure relief on the port side valve cover

Do I replace the groment ? Rtv the fitting into the groment, or is there an under lying problem? Compression in the 190s on all cylinders!
Thanks all
