      2009 Kia Sportage LX 2.0 I4 – I’m observing some oil leakage through the screws of the Valve Cover. I’m anticipating that the valve cover gasket has deteriorated and may need to be replaced soon. Overall, the car runs good and has approximately 105k miles on it. I’ve ratchet tightened the screws as much as possible. I have not attempted to use a torque wrench.

      Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

        It’s probably time for a valve cover gasket.
