Hey guys, I got an oil change from my Ford dealer today and they said I have an oil leak.... Had one of the mech. look at it and said it looks like its coming from the head gasket.....Have an appointment with Mitsu on Monday, just wondering if anyone has had this problem in the past? The only internals I have are Cams...

 

If you did the head studs too that's your problem.

 

Head studs will cause this?

 

BUMP for any help!!!

 

some times if you install the head studs the easy way (leave the head on and change them one at a time) this can cause the head gasket to fail. it sounds like this is whats happening to you, have you checked you coolant to see if your getting any mixing of oil into the coolant, or and coolant in the oil? you might want to do a compresion test and see how it looks.

 

cool thanks for the info, so more than likely its the head gasket and in that case its about 50-200 bucks.....not so bad but still sucks

 

big difference between valve cover gasket and head gasket............ U better add a zero to the number for head gasket 500-2000

 

its probably the valve cover. it would make more sense it would be that since thats the part that was removed. i would check to see if there is oil on the top of our intake manifold runners, right behind the injector ports.
