Hi all, new to the forum as I just bought a chevy Tacuma, though payment hasn't yet went through. It has a soot and oily build up at the part shown in the photo. Does this mean the gasket has gone, is it okay to drive and could there be a bigger problem going on?
The seller has said he will have it fixed but not knowing much about cars, I want to be sure that I know what the problem is and what needs done to rectify it.
Hope somebody can help, many thanks.
