As the name suggests, the valve covers on your Chevy Malibu are installed over the valves and rocker arms on the cylinder head to protect them as well as to prevent oil from leaking near the top of the engine. Valve covers are sealed against the cylinder head with a valve cover gasket. With time, gaskets can become hard and brittle, or they may shrink, which can cause an oil leak. Signs that your Malibu might have a leaking valve cover gasket include low oil levels, an oil leak near the exhaust manifold that causes smoke or a burning smell, an engine that runs rough due to oil-contaminated spark plugs, and a valve cover that is dirty or is obviously leaking oil. Be sure to check oil levels frequently if you have a severe leak to prevent engine damage. O'Reilly Auto Parts carries valve cover gaskets for your Chevy Malibu to help you repair your oil leak.
