is it a serious thing that need to be replaced. what is it and what does it do.

i hope some one familar with cars help me

many thanks again and again for this forum

 

You need to get an exact diagnosis - VVT is an electro mechanical system that varies the valve timing based on engine rpms and load and is a "system" not something that can leak. You may have a vacuum leak that can affect the VVT system however.

By the way, how small was the mechanic? Less than 5 feet; less than 4 feet?
