But if you have not changed the oil, that should be a priority. Fortunately, it is something you can do yourself, either by draining, or by using a Wilton special oil sucker. When you send in a parts order to Rusty, add an oil filter. If you are in a bind, and have to get one locally, find a Wix. Don't buy the Mcparts regulars: fram, autolite, STP etc. Best is to always have spare fuel and oil filters from Rusty on hand.

Black oil is normal, it'll ALWAYS be like that. 2 seconds after you put in fresh honey colored oil it'll be black as night, nothing to worry about.

The oil is Rolls Royce Sapphire Black, the fuel not far from it. The engine
is pretty black too, from the leak. So I'm not even sure if the valve cover
is the only leak.
