In 2007 Sportage LX 4 Cylinder, I have a fine oil mist spraying out a seal near the top of the engine.
The sprayed oil is landing on the "hot" thing nearby and then dripping onto the exhaust pipe at the bottom. It causes a certain amount of smoke.
I think this is a gasket of some sort, but I don't know what it's called.
Please take a look at the two photos I've attached. I've pointed a red arrow to the place from which the oil sprays
What is this? Is replacing this a job an amateur can do? How much do you think a mechanic would charge?
Please let me know. As usual, I'll appreciate any feedback I receive.
Best regards.
