Good morning everyone, today I was doing maintenance on the power steering pump and I noticed an oil stain out of the VVT Solenoid valve. I unplugged the connector and found a little bit of oil (you can see it on a paper towel but not a lot). Also, the I can rotate the solenoid clockwise and counterclockwise. I'm not sure if that's normal.
It's not throwing trouble codes or anything but the engine sounds like diesel, which I always assumed to be lifter noise. Any idea if my VVT Solenoid is bad and is the cause of the noise?
