Dear all,
This Altima is 96 GXE, its has 139K miles on it and runs great.
Until 100K miles I was in TN and the engine block was sparkingly clean.It looked like new.
At around 120K,I saw that the engine rotatiion where incosistent and finally discovered that the distributor is faulty.My menchanic cleaned the distrbituor (had a pool of oil inside it, possible cause , leakeage from the engine into the distributor).Once cleaned the car again was running great.
It now has 139K on it, it had gone thru two terrible snowy winter season in the notheast (last year and year before last),since I moved to the northeast.
But it still performs very well.
The only thing that is bothering me is that,now under the hood I see oil leaking from the top of the engine and ,the whole thing is oil covered,every hose,every thing around the engine.
I found that Nissan had an O ring recall on this vehicle.Is this leak a possible O ring failure.If yes,am I still eligible,I am the FIRST owner of the vehilce,bought it brand new.
Please advise.
Thaks in advance.
