altenator/valve cover questions...
someone said that the high pitched noise coming from my car could be my altenator...
and my friend told me a trick to single out where noise is coming from. He said to take a broom stick and put it on the altenator while the car is running and put your ear on the end of the stick and listen, and the vibrations from the weird noise will vibrate through the stick.I will then be able to tell if it is the source of the sound.
Also oil is leaking around my valve cover, so im replacing the valve cover gasket this week, will the oil leaking cause a loss of power for me? Ever since i have had my car it has leaked oil but for some reason no one has seen it coming from my valve cover.
