Home / News / Products / MJ GASKET – What Happens if Valve Cover Gasket is Leaking ?

WHAT HAPPENS IF VALVE COVER GASKET IS LEAKING

The valve cover gasket is used as a seal between the valve cover and the cylinder head. When the valve cover gasket is used for a long time and under higher temperatures, it may begin to fail. Then, it will cause oil leak down the sides of the cylinder head.

When you first notice that the valve cover gasket may have some problems, you can try to do something before it gets worse. Below are various symptoms of a bad valve cover gasket.

a. Burning Oil Smell

If a valve cover gasket is failed, even just has a little crack on it, then the oil will drip onto other components of the engine. When this situation happens during the engine is running, the excess oil will drip on the cylinder head or fuel intake. These are hot components that will burn the oil and produce a burning oil smell.

b. Low Levels of Engine Oil

It’s important for you to make sure you check the engine oil light in the dash regularly. Due to the low levels of engine oil, it will reduce its ability to properly lubricate internal engine components. This can lead extreme heat in the engine and may cause serious damage.

c. Dirty Valve Cover

Every time during you change the engine oil, you should check carefully the situation of valve cover. If you find that it is dirty, then it means your valve cover is leaking oil. Besides, it will collect debris and dirt below the cover then it will deposit on the cylinder head or valve cover. Therefore, you should get it repaired and replace the valve cover gasket as soon as possible.

d. Rough and Misfiring Engine

If the oil leaks from the valve cover, it can leak the way down to the way down to the spark plugs and finally seeps inside the spark plug tubes. This will cause a misfire or reduce the performance of the engine. If it will be unrepaired, there would probably be a fire under your hood. Once you find out the problem, you should get it repaired to prevent more damage.

To be concluded, if you find your valve cover has some symptoms as described in the article, then you should take action right away.
