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.
