Valve Cover Gaskets
Are you smelling burning oil when you drive? Do you see oil pooling around your spark plugs or dripping down the sides of your engine block? The valve cover gasket is a common failure point that seals the top of your engine. When it hardens and cracks from heat, oil leaks out. Kaba Mobile Mechanic can carefully remove your intake manifold and valve covers, clean the mating surfaces, and install a premium silicone gasket to stop the leak permanently.
DANGERS OF AN OIL LEAK
A valve cover gasket leak is more than just a dirty engine bay. It can cause serious secondary failures if ignored:
Fire Hazard
Oil dripping from the valve cover often falls directly onto the exhaust manifold, which gets incredibly hot and can ignite the oil.
Misfires
Oil can leak into the spark plug tubes, drowning your spark plugs and ignition coils, causing the engine to misfire and stutter.
Belt Damage
If oil drips onto your serpentine belt or timing belt, it will degrade the rubber and cause the belt to slip or snap prematurely.
Low Oil Levels
Continuous leaking drains your engine oil. Running your engine low on oil causes extreme internal wear and can destroy the motor.
