hi all
firstly thank you in advance for any assistance that can be provided
My wife owns a 2003 citroen xsara picasso petrol
it has developed a fault and i done some home repairs but the issue isnt solved wondering if anyones had
a simular issue before and might shed some light
the engine management light came on so i put a obd reader on the vehicle and it came up with code p1338
so i checked online for a solution it came up with cylinder number 2 misfire so i checked the coil pack and replaced it along with the spark plugs
i also changed the egr valve because i felt it maybe a possible problem or adding to it but alias there was no change it the way the engine acted
i then found that there was a slight amount of oil getting on one of the new spark plugs i replaced and no matter what i do the car seems to respond the same
it runs but sounds very boggy and does not have as much acceleration
before i give up someone told me to go to a good forum and ask there and see if anyone can help
im tempted to chance the valve cover gasket and the o ring seals or the camshaft sensor in case it is them but its a big job
i thought i would try post here in case any owners have had the same issue and has a fix i do like this car very much and i really want to keep it on the road
if i can
again thanks to anyone that might be able to help

Re: Xsara Picasso Engine Light Issue
Hi i take it your referring to oil getting on outside of plug? ie leaking from cam cover
If it is just change cam cover gasket paying attention to making sure both sides clean and torquing down evenly and correctly
