If, by "going out" you mean it leaks, I can think of a few reasons. First, damage in the cover itself. Second, an incorrectly installed gasket. Third, a blocked pcv valve which permits blow bye gas pressures to build in the engine block and fourth, leaking valve seals also permitting pressure to build in the lifter area.

You have a large oil leak in the right front of your 1998 Saturn vehicle how do you change the head gasket on this vehicle?
