my sentra all of a sudden started burning oil really bad i read about the recalls on them so i called my local dealership and asked if my car fell under the recall they said that it didnt but they told me that there was a built in egr valve that could be causing the problem how can i tell if it is that. when i took out the spark plugs and looked into the combustion chambers on all four cylinders and they all had oil in them if it is the built in egr valve do i have to buy a whole new valve cover?

Nope. Just replace your valve cover gasket. It should come with spark plug seals (these are what went wrong, the ones that you really need)
