What's included
Oil leaks rarely start big. A valve cover gasket hardens, oil seeps onto the exhaust, and you get that hot-oil smell at stoplights and spots on the concrete. We find where the leak actually starts — valve cover, oil pan, timing cover, rear main, oil filter housing — and fix it rather than adding a stop-leak product that clogs things up.
- Clean the engine and use UV dye if the source isn't obvious
- Identify the leaking gasket or seal
- Remove components for access and replace the gasket with OEM-quality parts
- Replace spark plug tube seals if oil is in the wells
- Torque in sequence, refill, and re-check after a heat cycle
Signs it's time
- Oil spots under the car
- Burning oil smell, especially after driving
- Low oil level between changes
- Oil pooled in the spark plug wells causing misfires
- Smoke from the engine bay
