No warranty? Also do you have OCV leak too?
They replaced the cylinder head cover but is that necessary?

I think replacing the whole thing is what Mazda specs via warranty. It may all come as one part.
It's unfortunate this issue hasn't been rectified by Mazda as I was dealing with this issue back in 2018 and it was happening for others before that.
Honestly, I think since it's hidden under the engine cover, most people don't even notice the seepage, which is why it isn't costing Mazda more and forced them to do an update.
I haven't checked for this issue on my last two rigs...mostly because I am turning a blind eye to it (don't keep the vehicles long enough to bother). If I was keeping it, I would be checking it every few months!
2022 with 12,000 miles. Rockauto sells an after market seal, Mahl I think? Yea, I think because the valve cover/head engine cover is plastic Mazda says replace the cover and the seal. If I have to do it on my own I'm putting the aftermarket one in because it's probably less likely to leak.

Yeah I have a warranty but I'd rather just figured out on my own because it's always the same thing with dealerships. It's normal it's normal it's normal. Plus I'm an aircraft mechanic and I'm pretty picky about my stuff I've seen what they do to vehicles when the customer is not looking. Yeah let me know if the noise goes away that's pretty exciting. Then at least I know what the problem is.
If you have warranty Mazda should be better than aftermarket + your labor lol
Find another Mazda dealer that will do it.
Btw does anyone know why I see some small amount of green engine coolant just laying on top of transmission? Maybe from disconnecting some hoses on/near valve cover? Might have to look threw Repair Manual.
I know on some vehicles coolant goes to the throttle body.
I think my creak noise is the Lower Control Arm bushings doing the "stick-slip" thing discribed in TSB 02-001/20. The fix was they put a coating on the bore of the LCA to "reduce friction". Does that mean if I put some silicon grease in there my noise goes away?? I almost did put the car is going to the dealer to see what they say. This creak is really annoying
This video will help you with your old CX 5 and newer CX 5. And other CX Model. Must use alot of spraying silicon grease on the LCA assy bore (large bushing) and knock it with some mallet or hammer to make sure it doesnt sticks.

UPDATE on ocv valve cover replacement and stabilizer bar bushings replacement for knock noise.
I drove it for a good amount and noise is still there!
The ocv valve cover replacement was suppose to fix the ocv weep/leak but now it is full blown leak. At first I kept on smelling motor oil inside cabin so figured pop the engine cover off and peeked and there it is on the right side of engine I see a good amount of oil leak and some sprayed areas.
If I bring it in again this will be my third time! Guys what should I do??

Yep both times at San Francisco Mazda.
Update on knock and ocv weeping.
Took it in 3rd time for both. This time ocv valve cover is leaking and some small spraying. The noise is there but tech sitting with me said its coming from the rear bushings so he will swap that according to tsb. So is there a tsb for rear bushings? So now a loaner again.

It sounds like in the front but tech said theres a tsb for the back he said.
Update:
Got GTR back to re-fix the valve cover leak. Papers had it as a defective gasket and they also used RTV but when advisoe messaged me he said it was a pinched gasket so which was it???
Now the nock sound is still there so instead of them fixing a FOURTH time a “regional tech” will test ride with it instead of advisor/mech and will check the underside or something like that.
Oh boy!!!!!!
