I know this is an old thread, but this addresses my issue exactly. The wrong shop DID do my valve cover gasket replacement. They did not replace the cam plugs and reseal them. They did not torque the valve covers down appropriately.

Now, the valve covers are torqued correctly, and, unfortunately, some oil is still leaking from the cam plugs, though very minimal.

My questions is, should I take the valve covers off again (this was just done in April 2021) just to replace/reseal the cam plugs?

I do not have the tools to do this myself, but I do have another shop to go to now that I do trust. I can afford to have this done, though am not excited about paying again 3 months later. The question is for this 1999 4Runner, what is the urgency to fix this pretty small leak given that there is a list of other things to fix and my goal is not perfection but just keeping it running?
