Oil being sprayed under the hood.
New member here! Maxima has been spraying oil all over the underside of my hood and the motor. Have not driven it much due to fire hazard. was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what could be the cause. I have been told valve cover gasket, but never have seen a bad valve cover gasket do this.
forgot to mention the motor is a 4cycliner

It could be the valve cover gasket or the power steering fluid also. My leaking rack and pinion and PS return hose was leaking all over the place. The worse of the leaks was the PS return hose and the rack and pinion, it was causing some smoking issue on the rear manifold.

I replaced a valve cover gasket on my Altima once, and tightened up the cover too much. The gasket got deformed at the front and spewed oil toward the radiator. A second gasket installed properly fixed that. And how is it you have a 4 cylinder? I thought all gen 4 Maximas have the V6?
