Hi guys

I need some help/advise on a leak from my spark plug gasket #3

I just change all the spark plus on my g35x 2006 AT5 and noticed I had a little oil in my #3 .

Not that much but i can see it leak a little, (only the #3 seems to leak ) .

I saw some threads about this issue on the forum but there was no answer to my specific questions .

1- How many time can i run my car like this without causing any damage to the engine ?

2- How much will it cost at the dealer to do the valve cover gasket on the passager side .

3- will it be better to do both side at the same time even if there is no leak ?

4-Should i do a compression test to see if everything is good inside ?

Your help would be really appreciated .


Thanks in advance !!!

 

it's been about 3 years for me.. car is running fine..

 

Thanks . This answer really helped me to stay calm . I was worried that it could break some parts in the engine .

 

if its just a tiny bit, now worries, like he said... if its a puddle, then you need to change the whole valve cover...some people have success with taking it off and using high temp rtv sealant though.. could try that.... as long as its not enough oil to get inside the plug wire boot, its not a threat.. that would cause misfires

 

Thanks !
There was just a tiny bit in the #3 only and the spark plug was a little bit dark at the junction (metal/ceramic) (the spark plugs were very old ) . but the wire boot didn't have any oil on it . So I should be okay for now. . But that's on the to do list . Thanks again for your advise .
