hello matez,
i have a mitsubishi eclipse 96 and i am facing a huge problem. the oil in my carz engine is every where. if u look at the 2 pics i uploaded, the oil is on the engine, on the engine belt cover, and even on the bonnet. i checked out the quantity of oil in my carz engine and its half already, in abou 2 days time.
Also, when ever i touch abou 60km/hr ,,, a loud sound is repeatedly heard in the engine ,, which gets louder as i accelerate.
DOES ANYONE have a solution to this problem,,, im facinn a big difficulty here,,, ANY HELP PLZ???

Please record the sound you are talking about i really would liek to have a listen.
As for the oil leak i recomend just having someone rev the engine whie you stand and watch. Also theck your cap for a good seal.
Is there any smoke comeong out of your exhaust?

Black smoke is normal pal! All turbo cars will do it.
Um.. .as to the oil leak... yeah. Sit there and rev the engine looking for leaks. Also... try any way you can to record that noise you were talking about!

You gotta figure out where the oil is comming from first like sebba said. And the noise could be alot of things. Im guessing it has to do with the fact that you are probably loosing oil pressure and its the lifters or something.

the dip stick was the thing ,,, all the oil was spewing out from there ,,, i fixed the dip stick wi an isolating tape,,, n afta a long drive, there was no oil on the engine, getting that done, the noise still remains an issue, ill get it recorded n posted on this thread tommo; i hope to get some expert advices on this too ,, cheerz
