Yes, a leaking valve cover gasket can contribute to low oil pressure. When the gasket fails, it allows oil to escape, which can lead to a decrease in oil levels and pressure within the engine. Additionally, if oil leaks significantly, it may not be able to circulate properly, further affecting oil pressure. However, low oil pressure can also result from other issues, so it's essential to diagnose the root cause accurately.
