I just drove home an Apex Silver and noticed bad oil leak around oil filter area. Arggggh, it is brand new with only 7 miles!!!!

Anybody else experienced this?

Thanks,

Check it has not been excessivly overfilled this has been happening alot...........mine was at least a quart over from the dealer.....do not drive it ...get your dealer to come pick it up...it's that bathtub effect....anything that will go wrong, or show itself defective will generally appear at the beginning when the product is new ....or at the end of it's life....case in point....my trans ...GTR got your PM..I will respond when I have time....cheers

 

Crawled under the car and took a look. The leak is coming from the line to the filter, not the filter itself. Oil cooler?

I think my oil was over the fill line when I checked it last week??????

 

Well it sucks no matter how you look at it. The dealer should be looking for this in their "make-ready" process.

Hopefully, once it's done, you will be problem-free for many years to come

 

Just dropped it off at the dealer. The sales manager insisted that the tech overlooked in the PDI. Well, I'll see. Nice part is I've got a brand new OZ Rally(?) for a loaner.....

I stopped by and talked to the tech (only one who does PDI on EVOs). He found oil spitting out at valve cover gasket when the engine was running. I have to wait until tomorrow! Arghh

 

jesus... this just proves mitsubishi is the ford of JDM when it comes to quality.

this really disheartens me.

 

Huh? One car with ONE problem proves nothing!

gvr4wd, maybe that's why you got the car for $1k below MSRP. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

 

 

Yeah, it came with one wheel missing...
