crack in my valve cover.
 

My aluminum valve cover, which I like because it's quieter than the plastic
option, has developed a hairline crack where the oil cap sits. It's leaking
a little bit. It this a big concern? The crack is small but it's definitely
there, should this be replaced asap? This is probably a silly question, but
im a silly rookie...

Thanks

Jason

My valve cover doesn't make any noise. The stuff under it makes some
noise but the cover itself... quiet.
