Replace valve cover gasket

Hi Brianna,check your valve cover gaskets,you have 2,they could be leaking causing this,Nissan is know for this,yes I have one too.

The Chrysler minivan products all had leaking problems. I have had 5 or 6 different Dodge or Plymouth minivans from 88 to 99. How bad is it. The most common thing is Valve cover leaks. Front and rear seals in the engine leak as well as the oil pan gasket. If its leaking a little bit at a time open the hood and look at the front and rear of the engine. Do you see grease and oil that has gone down the sides of the engine? Do you see a lot of grease on the engine with some clean streaks going through it. You may be able to see where its leaking from. If you know someone that knows what their doing have them change the leaky gasket/s. If not you can probably have it repaired for less than buying another van unless other things are seriously wrong with the van.
Hope this helps... Dale

All you can do is locate where the leak is coming from and replace the gasket or seal that is leaking. Common places are: valve cover gaskets, front and rear intake gaskets, front and rear main seals, and timing cover gaskets.

Leaks on the engine are commonly misdiagnosed. I have had a lot of people think that the "head gasket" is leaking when it is actually the "valve cover gasket". Find out the actual configuration of your engine before thinking the worse. A good look to confirm exactly where the oil is coming from could save you a lot of money.

Other than replace it with the correct gasket. Not much.... You can get a neuopran gasket as oppose to a cork gasket. There is a few dollar difference but not gonna solve the problem completely you'll get a few extra miles before it leaks again.. This is a common maintence problem. Gonna happen again in another 65k miles The valve cover gaskets take a lot of vibration from the head as well as heat.

The pcv will be running from the vacume of the engine and inserted into the top of the valve cover gasket. it must be on the top of the motor to ensure the oil is assisted on its travel to the top .

Most likely you have a leaking valve cover gasket. There is a gasket the goes around the valve cover, and also a gasket where the cover mates to the head for the spark plug holes.

BAD valve seal or slight leak in head gasket if its not coming from valve cover gasket. Good luck and Thanks for using FIX YA

if your oil burning is upon start up then i would suggest you get your valve seals replaced while you are getting your valve covers done if its a non-stop while it runs then its your rings if you opt to get the valve seals fixed you would be looking at probably $250 but your gaskets would be included the deciding factor for me would be the amount of oil consumption and how much i would save in the long run good luck

maybe the valve cover...
