The valve stem seals on your Ford Escape prevent oil from leaking down the valves into the cylinder, which can cause a blue-white smoke from your exhaust due to oil burning in the combustion chamber. If your valve stem seals are failing or leaking, it can increase the oil consumption of your SUV, and you may have to top off your oil more frequently. Oil can also contaminate the spark plugs and prevent them from firing, causing misfires from your Escape. If cool air comes in contact with hot oil that has dripped onto the valve, it can solidify the oil and prevent the valves from sealing properly, which can also result in misfires and rough idle. If you believe your valve stem seals are leaking, they should be replaced to keep your engine performing at its best. O'Reilly Auto Parts has replacement valve stem seal sets for your Ford Escape to help you make your repairs.
