My 06 Reno leaks oil from right under EGR valve area since I bought it 2 yrs ago
What is your question?
2006 Suzuki Reno. Ever since I bought the car it's had an oil leak and from what I can tell is that it's been leaking from right under the EGR valve area on the side of the cylinder head and I've never been able to figure out what the part is called so that I can replace the gasket/seal behind it where it leaks from and has just been gradually getting worse with oil leaking down the side of the head and all down the side of the transmission bell housing and then making a mess on the ground wherever I park it at... It's not leaking so much that I have to top off the oil level all the time but then after about a month or so is when I can notice that the oil level is just under a quart low. I'm not real sure but from what I've seen in descriptions online is that the part under the EGR valve is called an"EGR cooler"? If anyone can please help me figure this out just so I can order the right gasket or seal that's behind that part, and maybe stop the leaking!
What makes this problem better or worse?
Slowly the leak has been getting worse and I've thought of using gasket maker to seal up the leak since I can't figure out what the gasket or seal would be called so I can order the right gaskets...
How long has your 2006 Suzuki Reno had this problem?
Since I bought the car about 2 years ago.

Hello, this needs to be pressure washed, then dye added to pin point the source of the leak. This requires hands on and eyes on inspection. We can pull parts diagrams and guess and send you down the wrong road perhaps, but it's better to have a skilled, trained technician do the inspection and find out where the source of the leak is. If you'd like to do it yourself, you can also -- just have to have the means to clean off the affected areas and then add a dye for use with a black light to identify the source of the leakage. Then you can tear down the components to the point of leakage and make repairs as needed.
