Question I6 Hp Problem

Hey guys a mate has a S2 Xr6 running a I6 HP motor.
It has a leaky rocker cover so he replaced the gasket.
All pretty straight forward.
The problem it has is that it started leaking straight away.
So he re did it again this time using some ultra blue to try and help it seal.
It is still leaking and looks as though it maybe pressuring as it is literally blowing
the gasket goo out.
Any ideas what may be causing it to pressurize?
Thanks in advance John.

faulty pcv valve? leaking valves and/or rings? heaps of possibilities, but me personally, i'd check the pcv valve first, might be a cheap fix. not that i'd recommend sucking into it yourself, but if you have the car running and get a piece of fuel hose or garden hose and put one end in your ear and the other on the pcv valve you should hear it sucking. if not, replace it and see how it goes. good luck
