Mitshubishi had a update and one time when a montero sport came in about doing a valve job , The reson I know this I work on a customer that had a blown head gasket and had the machine shop do a valve job, we had a hard time ordering valve stem seal as they were updated from black to brown in color,why was updated at that time,the seal leaked and burned oil,So what does this have to do with yours , not only is your valve stem guide worn,your valve guides cannot seal and you get oil in the combustion chamber,as the oil pan gasket of course it ll will leak there and seep, and your front seal has a weep leak,Here is you 140k miles if you decide to repair it? valve job at both cylinder head, before you commit this have a through evaluation especially with the transmission. by the way Mitsubishi and Dodge caravan from 1996 to 2001 suffer from this.Do you know how I can tell when I am near a montero? the lifter are noisy
my 97 montero does the same thing, i just bought it so i am a little flustered that it will leave me on the side of the road
Hello! Mine is doing the same thing and I am bringing it in next Wednesday. Is there a chance it will break down? The oil is full, it is running fine but noisy lifters only when starting up. As soon as I get our of the driveway, the noise stops. Now when I stop and park I smell oil in the engine. Only white smoke when I start the car, when it is cold. It's a great little car other than this. Hope it is not to much to repair.
