2011 chevrolet traverse ls 201000km
I found sludge on this line / hose on top of what I believe is the intake manifold and directly on top of ignition coil #1. Cleaned it off. It was black and wet.
The line is not connected to the engine. See photo. https://ibb.co/M1MKVn3
Location of sludge circled in red.
The continuation of the line is highlighted yellow.
Ignition coil cylinder 1 is wet because of a power steering line leak above it.
so replace the line
He couldn't find the source of why it was wet.
get a new mechanic

P0301
11 Chevrolet Traverse LS AWD 206000KM.
Ignition coil cylinder 1 is wet because of a power steering line leak above it. I think it's a power steering line, not 100% sure. The line goes to the underbelly of the vehicle.

No drivability issues.
I'm almost certain that's the cause bc I've had the problem before, when vehicle was bought by me. My mechanic cleaned the wet coil and I never had the problem since until now. He couldn't find the source of why it was wet.
I think I have to (1) replace leaking line, (2) clean the ignition coil, and (3) test the wires on ignition coil? Am I missing anything?
2011 Chevy Traverse AWD 206k km. Power steering line has a very very small leak. Can I use one of those stop leak products in the market like Lucas or Bar's safely ?
