However, valve covered upper Tim covers are leaking oil technician also recommends doing upper timing cover without covers and both eccentric shaft sensors, as next step for vehicle to run smoother. Inspection technician did find transmission seepage pan. Also found front left inner tie rod, having too much play on vehicle. Recommend replacing inner tie rods on both sides, based on history and miles of vehicle, vehicle may be due for multiple service
