my uncle was gonna put in my new clutch and we discovered this he says it looks like
rear main seal went bad

 

I had the same problem...hmmm....seems to be a problem for the X.

 

beautiful! How many miles do you have on the car?

 

started doing this at like 4-5 k miles i noticed when my clutch started slipping really bad thats when i ordered a new one and found the leak

 

This any kind of thing warranty takes care of? Im experiencing some clutch slippage too, and really not feeling like taking falls I don't need to.

 

well i got my car back today supposedly it was leaking from the oil pan so they supposedly resealed it but they didn't fix my clutch because warranty didn't cover it so i called mitsu and they said they had to cover the stock clutch 1yr or 12,000 miles im waiting till Monday for them to call me back so i can send it to another service center and they can approve the repair

 

Mitsubishi has got to improve their quality control. It'll get fixed under warranty so don't worry too much. Hopefully your engine hasn't suffered any damage since you have been leaking oil.

 

Doubt it, it looks like a very mild leak at the worst. It's still not very reassuring to say the least.

 

So in other words, this thread has nothing to do with tranny or transfer case fluid leaks contaminating and ruing the clutch disk, right? It's just an oil pan leak? Either way, good to check out.

 

Looks like it's just the oil pan.. That's no biggie.. 15 min job to fix.. Do it on your next oil change.. Or take it back to Mits and make them do it.. Don't know why your clutch would be slipping unless you're roasting it.. One has nothing to do with the other..

 

Damn already on a new car.

 

When you move your car after it's been parked...make sure to check for oil spots on the ground.
Make sure it's not still leaking.
If the leak was caused by the rear main seal, and they didn't replace it, you should find small drops of oil...

Overfilling the motor with oil could cause the rear main seal to go bad.

 

what exactly is this guys maybe i have the same thing ?? I am at 6k miles and need a new clutch already??

 

did you read anything from the above? it is an OIL leak, not tranny fluid..... has nothing to do with the trany or clutch....

 

It is a mechanical device, they brake and have problems get over it.
