The Engine Valve Cover Gasket under the hood of your Nissan creates a tight seal between your engine's valves and the outside world to contain motor oil and prevent oil pollution. Your vehicle's original Engine Valve Cover Gasket can dry out and shrink as it ages, leading to a poor seal and motor oil leakage that could gunk up the area under the hood.
A damaged Engine Valve Cover Gasket tends to cause an unpleasant burning oil smell that permeates the cabin of your vehicle, and resulting oil leaks could lead to undue stress and wear on your engine. If you've been topping off your vehicle's motor oil more frequently than you did before, or a dashboard light is constantly signifying low oil levels, it could be time to replace your Engine Valve Cover Gasket.
If possible, don't wait to replace a damaged or worn Engine Valve Cover Gasket once you know it's causing a problem. Depleted oil levels can diminish your engine's performance and can even cause premature wear to the valves if not addressed quickly. Seeing oil splotches below your usual parking spot? Visit a nearby authorized Nissan service center to determine if a damaged Engine Valve Cover Gasket could be the root cause and to get easy professional installation of a replacement gasket.
