Hello
I can see oil leaking down over my automatic transmission on my 1998 KIA SPORTAGE ,but its really hard to see where it is coming from..on my oil dipstick, I am not loosing alot of oil, but still a leak ..is there anything in REAR of engine toward firewall ? Beside the valve cover gasket, I can't tell where its leaking from..any info much appreciated. Kia dealer said they would have to put a dye into oil to find leak but I don't have the money...
when and if I replace the valve cover gasket, do you use RTV sealant..I know you are suppose to use some around the cams someone said..any help appreciated..thanks
The oil is leaking from above the auto tranni..somewhere in rear of valve cover???:eek:
