Live in Palm Springs, Ca. Had to drive to San Francisco. Got an oil change at the Infiniti dealership and was told my valve covers were leaking but it was safe to drive 500 miles. I added a stop oil leak solution to the main oil compartment as well. 10 days later after driving 350 additional miles within the SF Bay Area I noticed white smoke coming from the tailpipes and contacted a local dealership to get the vale covers replaced.
The Local dealership found nothing wrong with the valve covers and stated they were not leaking ( does it appear fixed due to the stop oil leak solution?). They found oil leaks in the Camshaft position sensors and the power steering rack with tie rod. Is any of this related to why the Palm springs dealer recommended I buy 2 quarts of oil if the oil level dropped? Are these engine parts near each other? I really don't understand the mechanics of an engine. Thank you for your response.
