sure, if the gasket is blown or your o2 sensors aren't working.

Very vague question, The check engine light can range from sensors to you not having your gas cap tightened enough.

Then yes.

You should have asked about the o2 sensor. Your check engine light could be X amount of things.

Your o2 sensor will make a difference because it will alter your air/fuel ratio because your ecu isnt getting a correct reading.
