CurtisA 1 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) So another issue I've had with my Spark. When I first got it I noticed and issue with the valve gasket about 4000 miles into owning the car. Puddles of oil were building up right by the valve cover. I showed the dealer and they ordered the part, which took 3 weeks to get from South Korea. They fixed it and the problem was solved, I thought! It's starting to do it again (23000 miles) but not as bad. I've attached photos of what it's doing. Has anyone else had any issues like this?? I've looked at other used Spark pictures and have seen some with this issue and some that don't. Thoughts? Edited January 20, 2014 by CurtisA Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisA 1 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I've circle where the puddles of oil were before getting it repaired at 4000 miles in this picture. It's not as bad this time but just a reference since I don't have the old picture anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 With nearly the same mileage, no my car hasn't started this yet. Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisA 1 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks Greg, it has been a common issue for me. This if after a repair and a new gasket was installed so I'm not sure why it's happening again. When it's time to go back to the dealer I will have a list of issues.....again.

Dgolden 7 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 See my thread in the help section about oil leaking into spark plug 4. They replaced the same gasket on mine and it continued to lead and are replacing the engine now. Make sure they do a compression test on it. Link to post Share on other sites
