Is it normal?

Hi guys,

I would like to know if it is normal to see a little bit motor oil on this?

Is yours are like that too or... ?





If it is normal, I will be really happy, but if it is not normal, what should I do?


Thank you.

It's not clear from the images, looks like dirt has accumulated over the years. However, if oil is leaking from that area you might need to replace the valve cover gaskets. Easy/cheap job, you'll be needing two gaskets, spark plug o-rings, and the front gaskets for the camshaft adjuster covers if leaking. Also, this is a good time to replace the spark plugs if they weren't changed recently.
Nothing to worry about

Thank you, how much do you think it will cost at total ?

And what do you think about this car has about 130 000 miles. Should I worry about or it's a good and reliable motor ?
