Hi Guys-
I have a '99 Altima, and yesterday while I was changing my spark plugs I noticed that when I removed the first plug (all the way to the left) there
was oil all over the spark plug and the boot of the wire, the other 3 were
fine. Well, the car is still under the 6/60,000 powertrain warranty. But
when I called the stealer service department and told her what was goin on
and I wanted to make sure that this will be covered under the warranty
because the problem is IN the powertrain. The response I got from her was
weird. She told me that they will charge me $55 to check it out, and if its
a warranty issue then the charge will be disregarded. Now im scared, I
asked her weather the valve cover gasket was under warranty and she said it
was, but she said it could be some spark plug hole seal in the head (I cant
really remember) and she doesn't know if that's covered under warranty. I
think that's jus BS, if it has anything to do w/ the engine, then it should
be covered under the powertrain warranty..right!??! I mean..the frekin oils
coming out of the engine!! What do you guys think? Will/should this be
covered under warranty? what could be the problem w/ the engine? Is it
serious? About 2 years ago, I mentioned this to them, I had black soot all
around the valve cover, and I asked em to check it out, they said it was ok,
and the performance was never as good as my friends altima.
