Seeping Valve Cover Gaskets

gfisher99 · 07-25-2016, 03:42 PM

Hi all - Has anyone had experience with third-party extended warranties and valve cover gasket seepage? I have an exclusionary warranty with National Auto Care and wonder if those types or repairs are typically covered by warranties.

My passenger side cover seems to be seeping slightly at the top near the injectors, and possibly down at the front bottom - but that one might be caused by small amounts of oil burping out of the filler cap. I've cleaned and oiled the filler gasket to see if it helps that one.

It should cover it, gotta check your own plan though.

Thanks buddy - Seems mine basically excludes the normal stuff like tires, brakes, etc. See nothing of excluding gaskets. Will see what happens.

Mine were covered and I have the Fidelity Gold Plus. It wasn't what I took it in for but they noticed it and covered it without any hassle.

Mine covered it. Had one side replaced not long ago. I have Warranty Solutions.
