2012 cruze 1.4 L4 turbo. Just noticed that we were losing oil. seems to be coming out from behind these. was hoping someone here could tell me what they are so I could look into repairing. they are just below the valve cover on the front (passenger side) of the engine. thanks!

 

camshaft actuators they have O-rings on them and like to leak, if you have remaining powertrain warranty they are covered. I've done a lot of them.

 

Thank you! I have been literally unable to identify these just surfing the net. It is covered and i'll probably take it in. I'm definitely getting the impression that theres a possibilty of falling up the timing if i do something wrong. I like to do my own work if at all possible but I won't risk messing anything up if I'm less than sure i can handle the repair. Don't suppose you'd know the part number for the orings off the top of your head?

 

Nah I generally don't have anything to do with part numbers, and they aren't hard to change at all but if its under warranty in my eyes you may as well take it in. Let a tech get an easy repair for once and if anything else comes out of it its documented in GM system. Cruzes seem to be very buggy or awesome little cars just depends on what you drew out of the hat ha.
