Dear Sir: I have a 1997 Series III Sentra, with B14 engine. Lately, I have experienced that engine oil is accumulating in almost 4 spark plug wells, leaving the valve cover wet with oil and practically in almost all parts under the hood. Does it mean a major work? what is the cheapest remedy. Thanks and regards. HERNAN Y. VILLANUEVA

Sounds like you have a leaking valve cover gasket.
Have the sealing surface checked for damage and warpage and if all is well, replace the gasket.
You may also have a emmision system issue where the one way valve in the engine fume recirculating sytem is blocked allowing pressure to build up in the valve cover. This valve is usually located in the pipe which leads from the valve cover to the intake system. Remove the valve and clean it with kerosene. It should rattle when you shake it and you should only be able to blow air through it in one direction. when replacing it, make sure that air can flow from the valve cover to the air intake only, not the other way.

Nissan Sentra LEC 1997 PS

Make sure the PVC system is not plugged or disconnected, this causes pressure in the crankcase and hence the oil in the air cleaner, seen it many times
