Oil leak

Postby dawgn86 » Sun Dec 09, 2018 9:09 pm

2008 Frontier with the VQ40 engine

Seeing a small oil leak on top of the driver side rocker cover. It seems to be leaking at the front of the cover and running down the cover below the spark plugs

Could it be front the gasket, the variable valve solenoid gasket or spark plug tube?

Thx

You can eliminate the spark plug tube seal. If it were that, it would look into the spark plug well. You would notice it when you remove the coil pack.
