Consumer Description

HEAD GASKET PREMATURELY LEAKING OIL. LEAK FINDS ITSELF NEAR EXHAUST. A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH FINDS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON UP UNTIL 2010 AND THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NEWEST ENGINE. AN IMPROVED GASKET IS AVAILABLE, BUT REPLACEMENT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND THE AFFECTED CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
