Leaking LIM gaskets. Common issue.

That's actually clean compared to mine. Yup, it's the LIM leaking...

LIM leaking and Valve covers too. I bet if you pull off that plug wire retainer on the front you'll see a nice amout of built up oil.

Valve covers are leaking a little bit, but not too bad. But LIM is leaking for sure. I would make sure to get that taken care of asap. And just do the valve covers while you are at it.
But compared to what my car was like when I did everything at 160k, that is nothing...

Pretty mild compared to what I have seen myself too.
You know your LIM gaskets are bad when you have coolant puddling around your injectors.
Do both, LIM gaskets and valve cover gaskets and might as well replace the grommets around the bolts of the valve cover as well.

I pressure washed the engine bay and im planing on switching to valvoline maxlife so i'll keep an eye on it to see if it comes back
Thanks everybody

maxlife won't fix it, it has additives to swell gaskets, but doesn't work well on the new typesOriginally Posted by golden_c_ninja
