I noticed a very small amount of what appears to be oil on in my garage from where the car had been sitting w/o being moved for a month, where it had just come back from being in the shop for its annual. I'd get under it to try and take a look but it's actually in for some paint work for the next couple wks at least.

Any idea of what it may be? I realize it's a pretty open ended question but just wondering what "typically" could leak on our cars. Thanks in advance.

 

Timing cover gasket?

 

last I had that checked it was very slowly forming single drops, but I will double check that again w/the tech that was working on my vehicle.

 

O ring on the EGR valve

 

never heard of that, could you elaborate at all?

 

Dont know why I typed EGR was meaning PCV valve theres a O ring that they now use a different slightly thicker section O ring in the housing I believe . I think I remember it being talked about in redpants thread about his catch cans .

 

I had a timing gasket leak that started on my 2015 GT - was covered under warranty - they showed me the gasket was pinched while original build. They took the front end of the car apart to get to it, but was covered under warranty. Was more of a seep but would have been a minor leak eventually.

 

yeah it's not leaking much, 2 smallish "puddles" in total less than a foot wide and separated by a few inches. don't think it's PCV valve since I just replaced that last year, the catch can did just get emptied so I'll double check all the fittings when I get the car back. it'd be a real bummer if the timing cover was doing the seeping as I didn't think it was forming but like a drop here and there (it was fixed by PO 2 yrs ago but at this shop, not the dealer, really grinds my gears it's seeping at all).

 

I'm new here but it sure sounds like the timing cover gasket is pretty common, at least the posts I have been through so far it sounds like it? How costly of a fix is that?

 

2-3 grand depending on your local labor rate.
