Hello, I was told that my Oil head gasket was bad. There is a lot of oil buildup on the front of the engine around the radiator. However, everytime I check my oil dipstick, it says its full. Is my gasket bad or not?

Thank you

Chances are you are refering to the valve cover gasket. Yes, they can seep and over the years, it looks very bad. They are easy to replace and the gasket is cheap. If you want to do it yourself, there are direction on our homepage under the diy section.
