valve cover

 

check....valve cover is good

 

on the drivers side of the engine theres "breathers" i think thats what there called those might be leaking. atleast mine are.

if you could pressure wash everything or just clean it by hand after that you could monitor uor engine bay and find a leak.

 

its only leaking from the passenger side

 

You have the front seal which is in the oil pump. Those going isn't uncommon. They ooze just a little bit a lot of the time. Otherwise you cam seals and main seal are obviously in back. Where exactly are you seeing the oil? One of the crappy felt gaskets for your oil pump could've gone south as well.

 

does anyone know where i can get a crankshaft spacer. it goes behind the crankshaft sensing blade. its number four in the picture.

 

Mitsu dealership? :dunno:

 

dealer?

 

I think your talking about the camshaft seals on the passenger side. The front one is referred to as the right bank and the back is the left bank. I already did the research. The bottom one is the crankshaft which has its own seal. Many mechanics don't want to open the timing belt covers because they are hot after being runned but if you opend just enough and point a flashlight down you will see the seals and know for sure that they are leaking. I had one that was leaking all over and one other started to leak. You might consider doing the timing belt if not done so also.

 

i have a question.

when re-tapping a screw whole. Should go a size bigger or stick with the same size. I am re-tapping the the 10mm bolt thats on the water pump.

 

i have always gone a size bigger but i have always done it on places that don't really matter (meaning if the water pump doesnt seal tight it will leak water so it matters but the bolt that holds down the gas pedal cable doesnt have to be tight it just needs to hold)

 

so i have replaced the cam and crankshaft seals. and i seal leak. i am only leaking from bottom. does the oil pump have some kind of gasket or seal that can go out?

 

update. figured out the crank seal was still leaking and its because the gasket was shredded but the crank spacer. alright let me explain. i took it off and the crankshaft spacer was broken again. and in turn was spinning and shredding the gasket. if you guys needs pics to better understand let me know

question 1)

has anybody else had this problem.

question 2)

does anybody elses crank sensing blade hard to put on.



**does any body have a spare crank spacer and crank sensing blade laying around for sale?

* if you dont konw what a crank spacer is, its pictured in post 8 and its #4

(e-rep will be given for any positive feedback)

 

how many of you guys have this part on your car? is it a 2000-2001 part only because i cant find it on the mitsubishi website. heres a link. it should be by part number 4

bump

 

That is the plate that the crankshaft sensor timing plate. If it is loose and spins the car will have misfires and run real poor.

 

VERY LATE I KNOW


it’s definitely your cam seals, mine come from the top all the way down and drop onto this metal thing.
See the little square thing next to those two bolts, ye that’s where it leaks down to, straight up is the cam seal.
