Always something..........

I just discovered slow oil seepage/leak from the bottom front of passenger side Cam Cover near oil return hole - it looks like its been seeping for a while since the entire cam cover edge is caked with a thin layer of dirt. It is just a matter of resealing the can cover? - is it common? I just had the dealer do the 30K and plugs - they should have caught this. Now I will push them to remove bumper again - beyond the labor to get to plugs again (which I will not pay), what should I expect to pay additional for the cam cover reseal if the car is already disassembled to spark plug replacement point?

Thanks, Bond

 

I also notice im burning alot of oil lately, im wondering if i have a small leak somewhere as well too? Goodluck with yours man!

 

Martin,

How much is alot?

 

no, it's not common.

 

if u drive hard... u will burn about 12 quart for every 600 to 800 miles... these engines were designed that way.

 

Mark,
Please say you meant 1-2 quarts.

 

Hmm i guess its normal then.. I burned off about a quart in the past month to month and a half

 

Yip! they were designed to leak aswell though! lol

A few common leaks on these engines, I have had a couple.

 

burning oil on these engines is common, but should not be leaking oil.

 

yeah those suckers eat it up real nice...

 

So ive noticed

 

LOL, you might want to take yours in for a checkup.

I put about 1 quart in between oil changes in my car. I hear it's normal.
