Nissan Valve Cover

Are you fed up by the continuous oil leak in your Nissan engine? Well, impeding an oil leak is really frustrating if you don't find the correct source of the oil leak. So, here's how to detect the source of this oil outflow. First, you need to determine what kind of leak your Nissan is experiencing because there are two kinds of oil spills – a seep and a leak.

A seep is a slow seepage of oil that does not produce a drip, while a leak causes a drip of oil when the vehicle is parked. A leak can produce a puddle of oil on the pavement and continues to drip as you drive your Nissan. Seeps do not automatically have to be repaired right away but a leak if not checked can drain enough oil to do internal engine damage. In view of that, leaks should be repaired immediately.

Seep or leak – whatever it is, there is only one source of it. It is your Nissan valve covers. Yes, it is extremely common to have oil leaks from a valve cover on just about every vehicle with over 30,000 miles. Yes, it is true that valve covers are the devices that protect your valves and rocker arms at the top of the engine, but they are a common source of engine oil seeps and leaks. What causes them to leak?

Actually, there are a lot of things that causes the leaks in your Nissan valve covers. Among them are corrosion, warping and defects on the valve cover gaskets. Too much rust on valve cover's surface causes tiny holes that result to oil leaks, while warping or deformation is caused by the extreme heat in the vehicle's engine which normally affects any type of valve cover. So it is very important to always check your Nissan valve covers to avoid these things from happening.
