actually, just some leaks, 3 to be exact. I got the car inspected while it was in for some recalls the previous owners didn't take care of (one was 11 years old
) and they found out 3 things.
1: valve cover gasket is leaking
2: oil filter o-rings are leaking
3: power steering pump is leaking
the last two really aren't important right now, but some ways to fix those problems cheaply and easily, and where to get the parts would be nice if someone knows about these repair jobs.
What I'm wondering is if the leaking valve cover gasket is doing harm on my FE any. I'm also wondering whether or not to get a cork gasket to replace this one, or spend the coin for one made from permadry plus (HD)
The current gasket is supposed to be made from a reusable pre-cured moulded rubber gasket that's attached to the cover.
I'm guessing this ones far gone, so I'm just gonna get a replacement. Cork is less than 6 bucks, while the "performance" gasket is almost 40. I'm leaning towards the cork one, but I don't wanna have to buy a lot of them if they keep blowing out. If anyone has had experience with leaky stuff, please chime in.
