If the check engine light in your Chevy Impala comes on, it is important to immediately pull off the road to avoid further engine damage. Once you have safely stopped, you should use an OBD II scan tool to check the codes stored in the ECU. If you see a code such as P16D, it indicates that an oil leak has been detected, typically around the cylinder head or spark plugs. It is crucial to have this issue inspected and fixed promptly, as oil leaks have the potential to harm your engine.
