Default Re: oil consumption

Point well taken on the Valve Covers.

I got 13k on my 2007 and the driver side cover is leaking, and it ain't a pretty sight.

Usually if this is the case, when you pull the oil splash pan and look up towards the engine bottom, you will see telltale signs of oil that are impossible to miss.

I still got warranty, but hate to bring it to Chrysler service, I might wait for the winter thaw, and just fix it by my lonesome...

(When you shut down the engine, and look below the spark plugs, you will sometimes see some light smoke rising, (it's the oil hitting the hot engine))...
