| This has been an ongoing problem with saturn generally and saturn (galles) of albuquerque, nm specifically. 3 separate times they have wrecked my engine! this has been due to oil leakage into the spark plugs and the valve gasket cover is warped. this has yet to have been corrected properly by saturn. i have now taken it to another mechanic who is able to fix it correctly. it has not caused a safety isuue...yet.*ak | |||
