__raj Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hi We have 05 LGT/148,000 miles and leaky valve cover gasket on the passenger side making a nice smoke show and stench for initial drive and then it burns off. Mechanic asked if I wanted to do both sides or just culprit but went to say the drivers side is completely dry. Any reason to do both now or just wait if ever to replace drivers side?

apexi Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 If everything is fine on the driver side I wouldn't touch it. I'd pull the plugs on the driver side to make sure the tube seals are good though, if that hasn't been checked yet. *I forgot you have a LGT so pulling the plugs might be a pain. I'd probably just try to pull off one or both of the driver side coil packs to see if theres any oil leakage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__raj Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Thanks turned out to be a relatively inexpensive repair/problem solved for $160 to do passengers side only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
