Default Rubicon Oil Leak

My Rubicon began leaking oil from the valve cover pretty heavily. By the time I realized what was happening about a quart had blown out. The service/dealer says all is OK, (they were the ones that didn't tighten the valve cover properly) but I'm concerned about longer term damage from the event. Any ideas or suggestions?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

If it was a whole quart you would have noticed...when oil leaks it generally looks like more than it is...I wouldn't looose any sleep over it.

I agree RaptorJay I wouldn't get exesife about it you need to remeber that those are a dry sump motor and they pump the oil from the front tank through the engine I seen were people have put in ten to twelve quarts in the 500's and they tenned to move slow but still running so keep in mind the right way to go about checking your oil.
