Oil leak from lower valve cover
ANSWER : You didn’t say whether you have the 2.4L or 3.3L in your Hyundai, but neither of these engines have a lower valve cover. Could it be that you misunderstood the part the shop said needed to be replaced? Anyhow, it’s always good to have an oil leak repaired as soon as possible. However, it will be OK to drive your car until your finished moving, as long as you keep an eye on the oil level. Depending on the severity of the leak, you may want to check your oil as often as once a day. A good mechanic will clean the engine off, then put dye in the system to determine exactly where the leak is coming from. This ensures the correct repairs are made. YourMechanic can perform an oil leak inspection for you.
I’m ready to buy a 2004 Chevy Silverado but chk engine light shows Knock Sensor. Also Oil Pan Leak, Fr Axle Seals Leak. Buy? Cost?
ANSWER : Hello Mike. You have found yourself in a position where there is a lot to consider, and the choice is going to come down to how much risk you are willing to take with this truck. Starting with the knock sensor, it can be anything from a bad connection to a bad knock sensor itself. If the engine seems to be running quietly and smoothly, it is likely a connection or sensor problem. The oil pan leak is also a problem, because of how difficult they are to fix (even if it is just the gasket). Often you have to remove several components and possibly even raise the engine to get access to it. When you add the axle seals into the mix, you have to consider the time, effort, and money it takes to replace them as well. If the truck is in great condition otherwise, you may have a decent purchase. However, axle seals, oil pan gaskets, and knock sensor issues all happen with heavy wear typically, and the truck may be closer to the end of its life than it seems. 126,000 miles is not a lot, and if you can get the repairs done relatively inexpensively, then you may be taking less of a risk. For a second opinion and inspection, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.
2012 chevy cruze lt 1.4 valve cover vacuum leak. waiting on parts in the mail.
ANSWER : It is possible to temporarily seal air (vacuum leaks). Any method that best creates a seal can be used. In particular, RTV sealant which is flowable can be used to seal a non moving crack so long as the surface that you are applying the RTV to is oil and dirt free (otherwise the RTV wont bond). The only concern with such temporary (or even permanent) repairs is that you do not get any foreign matter in the engine through any crack that you are trying to seal. If you want the PCV valve and/or the valve cover replaced you can request PCV/valve cover replacement service and the responding certified mechanic will get this taken care of. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
Are these oil leak problems related?
ANSWER : If the oil filter housing is integral to the oil cooler, or the housing had to be removed to service the cooler, a professional mechanic with knowledge of the limited service life of rubber seals would have absolutely (guaranteed) replaced the filter housing gasket that you are now belatedly finding leaks. However, if the leaking gasket is in an assembly that was not touched, or is not part of the cooler, they might be on reasonable grounds to have not fooled with it. These cooler configurations vary (from Mercedes Benz model to model) so, having the advice I just gave, you can just simply ask them what configuration you have and go from there. The bottom line is, if indeed, the gasket that is presently leaking was "right in front of them" while they did the warranty work, it should have been replaced simply as a matter of course. Indeed, the weak link on modern engines has become gaskets and seals. The engine will mechanically far outlast the gasket and seals but the problem is to replace all of them (once they all leak) you have to literally take the engine out of the car and take it apart just to put all new seals in.
