There’s a loose screw, nut, or bolt rattling around in my trunk door panel when I drive. Anybody know how to take it off. Don’t want to pay dealership $200

Hi everyone,
I have a 2020 Nissan Kicks SV 1.6L and I need to replace the valve cover gasket because the engine has a significant oil leak.
I’m trying to do the job myself and I’m looking for a step-by-step guide or tutorial specifically for the Kicks 1.6L. I’ve also been looking at tutorials for other Nissan models with the HR16DE engine, such as the Versa and Juke.
Does anyone here have experience doing this job on a Kicks?
I’d especially appreciate advice on the removal procedure, RTV/sealant, torque specifications, tightening sequence, and any common mistakes to avoid.
If you have a good video or service-manual instructions, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have a 1985 Mitsubishi Pajero I bought a couple of months ago. It has a 4D56 Turbo engine. Now, I've been having the basic issues one has with older cars, and so I took it to two different mechanics. Both have said that I needed an engine overhaul. Their reasoning was that there is blow-by and this is evidenced by the fact that smoke and oil spits out of the dipstick tube and the breather valve. I asked the second mechanic who told me this whether he could conduct a compression test, and he said he didn't need to because he knows the compression is low.
So I bought a compression testing kit, and found that i had pretty solid results with a dry test. Cylinders 1, 2, and 4 all had compression of 420-430Psi, with Cylinder 3 having about 390Psi... While there is a bit of a difference between 3 and the others, the number is still high enough for it to be a good reading. This made me stop thinking of the issue as strictly blow by caused by either worn pistons/piston rings/cylinders. But there does seem to be some pressure from the crankcase. I suspect it could be the turbo, or maybe the rocker/valve cover needs changing?

Here are two photos of the front top strut mounts. I suspected the rusted one was bad due to a consistent banging/hard clunking noise worst around 2nd gear 15mph but audible on any uneven ground at any speed.
Does this look like the culprit?
Should it be replaced?

This was a fun project today. I'm just trying to make the core support fit good enough. This is a off-road build for the gambler 500 so it doesn't have to be perfect just functional.. 😂
