Okay, so I started on the valve cover... And what do ya know? The previous owners tried sealing it shut with some form of blue sealer, as well as have the rubber gasket on there. So it took forever (until 7, or about 3 hours.) to get it off. We had to do the dreaded prying, but the sealer cushioned the tool, so after thorough examination, It checked out. Then it got cold and dark, and I was told I should get some rest cause I have to go to school
. I had 2 mechanics trying to take off the cover. So I have no vehicle to get to school tomorrow. Which means finding a ride.
I've got gasket adhesive that's aero grade, and not auto grade. Coming from a mechanic for 30 years, he said that you want adhesive that hardens, but stays flexible. Auto grade gets really hard, which is not the best thing, but it works. It makes it to where it doesn't cushion between cracks, and makes it harder to take it off again later.
I have a torque wrench, and a shop manual, so I can torque it to spec. As for the 90 degree thing, yes it's the 90 degree thing, and it's leaking from the o rings. I'm not worried too much right now, only to get the more serious ones done.
Power steering, I examined, and it's leaking from a place where I can't pinpoint it unless I take the pump out. It's leaking from the bottom somewhere of the pump/reservoir. I have a catch pan for the job. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure I saw a new pump for around 40 or 50, though I can't remember. As for the belt, which one are you talking about?
