cam cover is leaking / blown, replace using genuine GM gaskets, and use GM's black sealant, if you DIY or have it done in garage, make sure cam cover bolts are torqued using a wrench to 8Nm!

Clean breathers will ensure the gaskets don't blow again.

Welcome to OOF   :)

Good write up on how to do the cam covers here .. :

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152564281

ALSO  good write up doing the breathers here

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152598350

Not worth doing one without doing the other, and as said .. GENUINE ONLY .. :)
