by rocker cover you mean valve cover, yes? And by tubes, you mean the PCV breather hose? If that is moving/popping, clean it out, as well as the PCV elbow and valve. It may be gunked up with emulsified oil. Once that is clean then evaluate engine performance. You can run a leakdown test to check valves and seals, as well as a compression test.

I have a 2010 Nissan Altima and when I start to drive the passanger side front tire does this bouncing sound. Can anyone tell me if it is my ball joints, struts or shocks. It also does it when I go over the smallest of bumps but mostly when I start driving from a stopped position. 3 Answers

My 2008 Ford Escape AWD floor matts keep getting soaked. I thought I had fixed it by making sure the sunroof was closed properly, but it has continued. I have tried to figure out where this is coming from and finally after drying them out again I laid under the the vehicle and both on the drivers side in the middle of the front floor area and the passanger side there is a small hole about the size of a dine right in the middle. That would account for the water coming in after rain storms and such, but why would these two holes be there? Was there a drain area there with plugs and they are missing? Can I have a piece of metal welded over them? Don't know why they would be there. Doesn't seem to be a rust issue as it is frim all around these small holes. 7 Answers
