Description of the problem | C/s ses light was on. I took car to norman frede chevrolet for repairs. The determined that there was a vacuum leak at the engine cam cover and replaced it - or so they said. Here is the invoice statement: "po171 vac leak at engine cam cover 4060930/0. 6 replace engine cam cover. Clear code 6061" after getting the car back, i went to nbt and had the oil changed. The next morning i drove to dallas from houston. On the way, i had another code light and called the dealership. When i got back from dallas on sunday june 29, 2013, i discovered that there was oil on the back of my car bumper and trunk. I took it to nbt and they inspected it and confirmed that they did nothing wrong to cause the oil leak. Nbt confirmed that the engine was leaking oil at the cam cover. I dropped the vehicle at norman frede on sunday and am in the process of getting to the bottom of the problem. The nbt person was surprised that the cam cover was plastic. This oil leak could have caused an engine fire. I am also concerned about a plastic cam cover. Should not a cam cover be metal? Is this a chronic problem? |
