2008 gmc sierra oil leak on manifold and over engine the valve was changed. Cannot find where the the leak maybe coming from.

It can be difficult to determine the source of an oil leak, especially if the valve cover has already been replaced. Here are some common causes of oil leaks in vehicles:
  1. Engine gasket leaks: Engine gaskets can leak oil, causing oil to seep out onto the engine and surrounding components.
  2. Engine oil seals: Engine oil seals can become worn or damaged, causing oil to leak from the engine.
  3. Engine oil cooler: Engine oil coolers can develop leaks, causing oil to leak out of the engine and onto the manifold.
  4. Engine oil pan: Engine oil pans can develop leaks, causing oil to leak out of the engine and onto the ground.
  5. Engine oil filter: Engine oil filters can develop leaks, causing oil to leak out of the engine and onto the manifold.
If you are unable to locate the source of the oil leak, it is recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle

What is causes of oil leakage in timing compartment

Oil leakage in the timing compartment of an engine can be caused by a variety of factors. Some common causes include:
  1. Worn or damaged valve cover gasket: The valve cover gasket is responsible for preventing oil from leaking out of the timing compartment. If this gasket becomes worn or damaged, oil can leak out of the compartment.
  2. Worn or damaged timing chain cover gasket: The timing chain cover gasket is responsible for preventing oil from leaking out of the timing compartment. If this gasket becomes worn or damaged, oil can leak out of the compartment.
  3. Worn or damaged oil pan gasket: The oil pan gasket is responsible for preventing oil from leaking out of the timing compartment. If this gasket becomes worn or damaged, oil can leak out of the compartment.
  4. Worn or damaged crankshaft seal: The crankshaft seal is responsible for preventing oil from leaking out of the timing compartment. If this seal becomes worn or damaged, oil can leak out of the compartment.
  5. Worn or damaged camshaft seal: The camshaft seal is responsible for preventing oil from leaking out of the timing compartment. If this seal becomes worn or damaged, oil can leak out of the compartment.
  6. Worn or damaged Timing chain tensioner: Timing chain tensioner is responsible for maintaining proper tension on the timing chain. If this tensioner becomes worn or damaged, oil can leak out of the compartment.
  7. Worn or damaged Timing Chain: Timing chain is responsible for maintaining proper timing of the engine. If the timing chain becomes worn or damaged, it can cause oil leakage in the timing compartment.
  8. Low oil level: If the oil level in the engine is low, it can cause oil to leak out of the timing compartment.
It's important to address oil leaks as soon as possible, as they can lead to serious engine damage if left unchecked. To determine the exact cause of oil leakage, it's best to consult with a mechanic or take the car to the service center.

Why does my powersteering whine when I turn steering wheel/

You likely have a leak in your power steering system and is now low. When the fluid gets low it gets air in it causing the whine. It is likely your steering gear or high pressure hose (or both) that is leaking. Once the leak is repaired it is recommended to flush out your power steering fluid to DEX6 Transmission fluid. I would check for all the leaks under the vehicle and then flush out to transmission fluid - just adding fluid will likely not fix the issue as these vehicles are hard to bleed the air out of.

My 2009 gmc Acadia fan was running a lot more lately after shut off and then last night it said shut car off and when restarted was in reduced power mode when I checked coolant it was almost non existent...

A very common issue on the 3.6 liter V6 engine in the acadia is a leaky water pump. The pump starts leaking, causing a low coolant level, causing the engine to go into reduced engine power mode to keep the engine from overheating. This usually results in a very extensive cylinder head gasket repair job. You should have a local shop perform a cooling system leak check to find the leak for sure, and an engine block check to see if the overheat condition caused internal engine damage.

What caused splattering oil leaks.

Tow guy probably correct
If it has a chain and you have not been paying attention to regular services, it is possible for a badly worn chain to wear through the timing cover and let oil escape
The mechanic you took it to was probably not properly qualified as he should have seen the oil spray , found the problem and gave you a report on what he found

2004 gmc yukon lite came on low oil pressure just had oil change 5 days ago checked it was low about a qt. Has 157,000 miles what can be the cause

There can be alot of causes, such as valve covers leaking, oil pan gasket leaking, oil filter leaking, rear main seal leaking, front timing chain cover seal or gasket leaking even bad rings. Does it smoke out of the back? Your valve seals could be leaking. Best way to find out if you have a leak is to inspect the valve covers manually, or take newspapers and lay them under the entire engine on the ground, and it will leave the tell tale stain of a leak. Hope this helps.

Traction control off, service traction control, service stabilitrak - there messages keeps popping up on my 2008 Acadia...

{: ) Your stabilitrak system may not work properly. The vehicle need to be scanned for trouble codes. In case you get a C0196 code, the recommendation is to reprogram the electronic brake control module. I hope that's the only cause.
