Topic starter

Hey guys my 2012 Murano has 184k and it was leaking oil I paid a shop to fix it they changed the valve cover gasket’s and it’s still leaking. Any help! I took a few picks of where the oil is sitting everytime after driving any thoughts? By the way I tried the UV leak detection still can’t seem to locate where the oil is leaking from. I can’t upload the pics here but basically the oil is sitting on top the valve cover but the ignition coils puddling up.

Check your PCV valve grommet where it enters the valve cover.  They sometimes leak there, especially an 11 year old car.  Either that or whoever replaced the valve cover gasket did a terrible job.  Upload your photos to imgur.com, then copy and paste into your post.

The instructions for photos are are hidden away in an obscure post entitled "Read this first" which is unfortunately placed in a location where it's hard to find - that is, near the very top of the topic list.

I concur with @doc - either the mechanic botched the valve cover gasket job or that's not where the leak was.

Also, get a new PCV valve just for quality.

Valve cover gasket appears to be leaking.  Somebody didn't do the job correctly.  Take it back and have them do it right.  Replace the PCV valve and grommet as well.
