kias are very nice cars, economical, cheap, reliable all around great cars. my only complait is the interior parts are kinda cheap in quality other than that all is good.

do you mean there is oil leaking from the valve cover???? if so just add oil it shouldnt be leaking that bad from there. In the meantime order a valve cover gasket. if im looking at the pic right.

koba · 03-17-2005, 07:00 AM

ja I mean velve cover, but I heard if a air will enter into, it will be bad for engine, so I am afraid to ride so. you know what I mean?

velve cover is a big problem to find here, for sephia 1994, and also it is too exspensive to order it in another country,

1fastkia · 03-17-2005, 08:26 AM

you wont harm it at. the air is if any is getting pushed out not sucked in. just make sure the oil level stays good. also clean up what is leaking so it dont start smoking.
The valve cover gasket here in america is like 50 dollars. and preaty easy to do if you have a shop do it, it shouldnt take anymore than an hour to install and cost 1 hr labor...
