Ford Focus owners (with the 1.8L or 2.0L Zetec-E engine, built between September 2002 and April 2005), listen up!

If you're seeing oil leaks around the top of your engine or smelling burnt oil, your valve (rocker) cover gasket is probably toast.

This is that blue silicone seal that sits between the engine head and the plastic valve cover.

This replacement from Platinum is brand new and is the exact part you need – part number RCG008AK.

It's made from durable blue silicone, which is way better than the old cork or rubber ones because it seals better and lasts longer.

It fits in the engine compartment and is a direct replacement for the original.

Swapping it out is a pretty standard DIY job if you're handy with a socket set – just make sure the engine is cool and you clean the sealing surfaces really well before popping the new one on.

One gasket comes in the pack.

Fixing this leak will stop you from losing oil, keep your engine bay cleaner, and get rid of that nasty smell.
