Valve cover gasket leaking

A worn valve cover gasket can always be recognized by a leak. This is sometimes hard to notice from the outside of the engine. There are a number of symptoms by which you can recognize a leaking valve cover gasket. The first symptom is increased oil consumption because not all the engine oil gets into the engine. You will then have to top up the engine oil more often than usual. Another symptom is that the parts are overheating and the dashboard light will come on. This is caused by the engine oil no longer being able to reach the engine. In addition, the car could stall because the leaking oil ends up in the spark plug ignition. The engine of the car will then no longer perform well because the oil causes a wrong ignition. This last symptom can even lead to a fire under the hood. So make sure that you replace a defective valve cover gasket in time.

Valve cover gasket

The valve cover gasket is the seal between the cylinder head and the valve cover. The valve cover gasket of the car ensures that the engine oil that runs past the valve cover does not leak into the engine block or enter the environment. This gasket is usually made of flexible plastic or rubber so that the part fits snugly on the cylinder head and valve cover. Due to age, the material can harden and crack, which can cause engine oil to leak. At Winparts you will find valve cover gaskets from top brands such as Febi, Elring and Blue Print. Enter your license plate or select the car model and the correct car parts will be displayed.
