My car will overheat to the point where the check engine light comes on. The coolant is perfectly fine in it. I don't know what else to do! It only has 80,000 miles. ]]> Contour leahabba http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970900 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970862&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:32:36 GMT 1999 ford contour 4cyl, auto.

Thought my oil filter was leaking, the garage said the leak was coming from above the filter. Took the car home and opened the hood. The black plastic cover on the top side of the engine on the passenger side was wet with oil. Can it be the valve cover gasket?

Does anyone know why this has happened? I have heard something about an idler kit and to try changing the water pump out? Any info would be appreciated.
