Symptoms & Diagnosis

Warning Signs Your Valve Cover is Failing

  • Oil leaks around the valve cover area. This is the most common symptom.
  • Burning oil smell. Oil leaking onto hot engine parts will create a distinct odor.
  • Engine misfires. A faulty valve cover can sometimes affect the ignition system.
  • Check engine light. In some cases, a failing valve cover can trigger the check engine light.
  • Excessive oil consumption.

How to Test if This Part is the Problem

  1. Visual Inspection: Carefully check the valve cover for cracks, warps, or damage. Look for oil leaks around the gasket.
  2. Gasket Check: Inspect the valve cover gasket. Is it brittle, cracked, or deteriorated?
  3. Pressure Test: A mechanic can perform a pressure test to check for leaks in the valve cover and gasket.
  4. Rule Out Other Issues: Ensure the oil leak isn't coming from somewhere else, like the oil pan or front crankshaft seal.

Common Failure Causes for This Part

  • Age and wear. Over time, the plastic or metal can degrade.
  • Heat cycles. Constant heating and cooling can cause warping and cracking.
  • Improper installation. Over-tightening bolts can damage the valve cover.
  • Deteriorated gasket. The gasket material can become brittle and lose its seal.
  • Poor maintenance. Infrequent oil changes can lead to sludge buildup, affecting the valve cover.
