If oil seepage appears at the valve cover seam, a burning oil smell develops from oil contacting hot engine components, or your oil level drops without an obvious source, a degraded valve cover gasket may be the cause. If this set is the correct remedy for your vehicle, it provides the sealing components needed for the repair. MAHLE manufacturer part number VS50879.
