Question

There seems to be oil leaking from my engine onto the exhaust shield right up front where it comes out of the engine. I have a 2002 Hyundai Sonata v6. What's wrong and is it expensive to fix?

Hello and welcome to Just answer.com, Super mechanic here. About your vehicle.

 

That sounds like the valve cover gasket if it is from the top and leaking on the exhaust shield.

 

 

 

 

 

The best way to be sure is to clean off all of the existing oil, (make sure it's full) then run the engine while you look to see if it is coming from the top, (below the valve covers)

 

 

If so then they are,
