Unfortunately, no. They said it was valve cover gaskets, so I had them replace them (I had done them twice). No oil in the coolant, but I am becoming convinced it's leaking from the head somehow. About a quart a month now.

It is a very odd leak for sure. Thanks for the reply.

Update on this. Cracked cylinder head. Going to start praying to the gods of JB Weld while looking for a used cylinder head. Not sure if the labor costs are worth replacing it with a used one, but will investigate.

Car owes us nothing.
