Nissan X-Trail Rocker Cover Gasket Malaysia
X-Trail MR20DE (T32) valve cover gasket seeping is common at 80,000–120,000 km. Oil seeps onto the engine and in Malaysia's heat can cause burning smell and discolouration. KR15DDTX (T33): turbo engine has additional sealing at oil supply/return; valve cover gasket is a secondary concern but still inspect at 80,000 km. Replacement is affordable and preventive — don't wait until oil runs onto exhaust.
