Oil Cam Plug
I was smelling burning oil awhile back so I took the car in to get checked out, the mechanic said that my Cam Plug had a slow leak to it and that I should replace it but it wasn't urgent yet, he quoted $285. Being low on cash I decided to hold off since it was a "very slow leak". Well recently when I take a very sharp corner or break/accelerate very hard, the oil light will come on for about 5-10 seconds then go away. So I checked the dipstick and the oil level didn't even register to the min. level. I filled it back up so no worries there...
Long story short is, how easy is it to replace this Cam Plug myself? has anyone done it? and are there any walk-throughs out there? I did search the forum briefly and didn't see anything.
As you can probably tell I don't do my own oil change, but that doesn't mean I'm not handy/ mechanically inclined, just don't have much spare time.
Thanks in advance!
