Default Possibly have a valve cover leak..

Jesus.. I feel like I'm having problems..

so I took my H3 in today to get her thermostat replaced and to get a coolant leak looked at. My mechanic told me that my radiator cracked again... wonderful but that's under the part warranty so that's all fine. He also told me that my engine does have an oil leak to which I told him that when I was changing my spark plugs I found oil all over the one closest to my firewall. He informed me that it was possibly a valve cover.

Now my questions are, how much should that cost to do? and is this a symptom to a bigger problem that is prevalent in the 07 H3's?

ive never used or had much luck with the search thing but I just did for valve cover oil leak and yours was the first, and only since 2011. I could be wrong.
it could be,probably is, something else. that big aluminum cover don't give nuch.

Same thing, another day. Water intrusion due to leaking (unsealed) coils... That's the same thing that causes misfires.. Read up, and learn.

check another area for your engine oil leak leak
