Hey guys. I bought my 96 LX two years ago with 48k miles on it.

It now has 96k and I have recently gone to the dealership to get timing belt, and misc. work done on it. When I got it back from the dealership, it was running well, but at stop lights it seemed a previous condition of drooping RPM's was much more prominent.

I took it unto myself to go about fixing it and I believe I have found and fixed a pretty major, but simple problem. (see pic 1) With no throttle pressure, the brass pieces were touching; and I somehow managed to find the solution to the plague that had been tearing away at my soul for so long. I adjusted the cables, adjusted the idle control screw, and drove around for a bit, and was pleased at the simple fix that was evading me for so long. (Don't ask me how they got where they were)


Also, I had them attempt to fix the tubeseal leaking, and we now come to our main concern.
See work performed (image 2)


See 75-ish miles later. All of the tubes leaking equally as much as pictured. (image 3)


Is this worth bringing back to them and asking for a fix?

When I came to pick up my car, I specifically asked, "Okay, now that you have replaced all of my tube seals, this work is warrantied against leaking, correct?" To which the serviceman stated "Yes."

Advice?

 

Most dealers have a 12 month/12k mile warranty on parts and labor in my experience.

 

Wow that was wordy!! But you Prob. need to ask the person working on it what the warranty is on there work.
Good Luck!!

 

Well, the well seals are price out there, so they should have been done. Generally when you do a valve cover gasket and grommet seals on those, you do the well seals at the same time

 

So it would be okay for me to ask them to attempt to re-seal it?

Is a little bit of oil in the tubes okay?

If it gets to a much worse point, I am going to take it in for sure, but if it just stays a low level, should I still be concerned?
