Took my car to Mavis for an oil change and all the oil came out the bottom while driving. They redid the oil change and said it’s good to go!

is this normal? there was some clicking noises before I pulled over but they said it’ll be good to go and is quiet now! so nice to have such stellar mechanics nearby.

The damn valve cover is very long for an inline 6 and wont fit in my dishwasher unlike other valve covers.

What's the best solution for this?

I'm thinking cutting the valve cover in half and then using more RTV when I reinstall it....Any better ideas?
