What is wrong
Constant expansion and contraction of the cylinder head causes the camshaft seal end plug can become dislodged from the cylinder head. This allows oil to leak from the camshaft.
The risk
This can cause engine damage and possible engine fire from oil leaking onto the hot exhaust system.
The fix
Dealers will install camshaft end seal plug retainer plates.
