Oil leak advice

[The Radium King]

my advice - change your spark plugs and tubes (the plastic tubes that seat in the cam covers and house the spark plugs OFTEN crack and weep oil onto the cam covers and exhaust). take the opportunity to have your cam covers retorqued while in there. none of this requires removal of the engine. it can be done yourself, but certainly don't have your current mechanic do it as he seems a bit too eager to drop your engine and take your money.

Agree with the Radium king, far too often people see the badge and think its an excuse to double the cost!
Pretty straight forward job if you have ramps or if you can jack the car up.
Parts are reasonably priced in the UK so probably the same in the US.

Good luck and we are here if you get stuck
