Nissan Almera Oil Leak Malaysia
Common Almera oil leak points: VG20 valve cover gasket (B17 at 20,000+ km), camshaft seal, crankshaft front seal at high mileage. N18 HR10DDT: turbo oil supply and return lines are additional points to check. Oil leaks often appear as a burning smell from the engine bay or dark stains on the ground. Early detection saves the timing chain. Workshop cost for valve cover gasket.
