• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Pictures.. engine look normal?

LIM leaking and Valve covers too. I bet if you pull off that plug wire retainer on the front you'll see a nice amout of built up oil.
 
Valve covers are leaking a little bit, but not too bad. But LIM is leaking for sure. I would make sure to get that taken care of asap. And just do the valve covers while you are at it.

But compared to what my car was like when I did everything at 160k, that is nothing...
 
Pretty mild compared to what I have seen myself too.

You know your LIM gaskets are bad when you have coolant puddling around your injectors.

Do both, LIM gaskets and valve cover gaskets and might as well replace the grommets around the bolts of the valve cover as well.

I pressure washed the engine bay and im planing on switching to valvoline maxlife so i'll keep an eye on it to see if it comes back

Thanks everybody
 


Its not bad yet, I would say another year of every day driving it will be worse for sure. This is the starting stage of it.

Until you can make repairs keep an eye on your coolant level in your coolant reservoir, but very doubtful you will be loosing THAT much as mush as it is seeping now. Once a week, pop your head under the hood and take a look.
