I have a oil leak. Looks like its coming from the exaust gasket on the passenger side.Where might it be coming from?
I have a 1998 mits. montero sport.
the valve cover and oil pan bolts are dry, it looks like its dripping off the exaust manifold bolts,but not the valve cover gaskets..the valve cover and oil pan bolts are dry, it looks like its dripping off the exaust manifold bolts,but not the valve cover gaskets..
I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. On acceleration, there is a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust and it is burning oil at an alarming rate. We have also seen other Montero Sports spewing smoke out of the exhaust upon acceleration. Is this a problem with Valve Seals? Where can I get an engine service manual for this vehicle. None available on Chilton or Haynes.

Oil is leaking from engine seal gasket into my alternator and disabling it, and requiring rebuilt alternator. What are my options and the approximate cost of repair? The replacement alternator lasted just 400 miles.Oil is leaking from engine seal gasket into my alternator and disabling it, and requiring rebuilt alternator.

Check your valve cover an your oil pan bolts to make sure they are not loose.if that fails,steam clean engine so you can see where oil may be leaking from.

If it is leaking at the oil filter the previous rubber gasket may have stuck to the block. When the new oil filter was installed then the gasket was doubled and will leak.
It sure sounds like the heater core, especially if you have water leaking inside the cabin. The two heater hoses only go from the engine to the firewall, and do not go into or through the firewall. They connect to the heater core right at the firewall.
Check carefully around the back side of the engine and the heater hoses, though. If a freeze plug is leaking, water will be dripping off the bottom of the engine. If it is leaking before the firewall, that would not be the heater core.
You might want check and see if the valve cover gasket on that side is leaking and making its way down there. It could also be coming from the rear of the intake manifold. You are going to need an inspection mirror and a flash light to see every where.
Take a look under the truck near the rear of the passenger side cylinder head, these units are bad for leaking head gaskets on the right rear head. If that is dry, then the drain for the heater core is also near there. But if you don't smell anti freeze in the cabin when the heater is on then it is most likely the head gasket. Hope this helps.

Add about 2.5-quarts of new engine oil to the engine.
Remove the passenger-side wheel, and support the car on jack-stands.
Start the engine and look for oil leak.
Chances are leaks are coming from failed oil-pan gasket or the drain-plug.
The head-cover gasket could be failing as well..
Find the oil leak and fix it
If coming from the timing case replace the gasket.
If from rocker remove it and replace the gasket
as if you have a oil leak then its fixable
1st check oil is it engine oil (black) or something else??????????
if you dont see antifreeze leaking anywhere,its the head gasket,check your oil dipstck,the antifreeze is probally mixxing with the oil as it leaks thru the gasket and will give the oil a milky white color on the dipstick,if you start to see white smoke from the exaust then its leaking into your exaust port,either way head gasket and change as soon as possible,you dont want it in the oil cause you can seize the motor
the valve cover and oil pan bolts are dry, it looks like its dripping off the exaust manifold bolts,but not the valve cover gaskets..
