The mechanic changed engine oil and found engine oil leak. He pointed out that valve cover gasket or oil filter housing could be possible location for the leak. But, fresh oil was sprayed out all over the place, both left and right sides under the hood when he took the bottom cover off. He can't tell until he cleans it and traces the leak.
Actually, I replaced a valve cover gasket one month ago. Didn't I replace a new valve cover gasket properly? Can it lead to leak? I don't have lifts. How can I examine it?
Just a week ago, I found that temperature gauge does not increase up to the middle point, where it should stay once engine is warm. I am near DC. It is very cold these days. But, it does not reach the middle and stays slightly low, maybe 11 o'clock after 30 min driving. I wonder if this could be related to the hot engine oil leak....or just broken.
Let me get your comments. Thanks
