Mitsubishi Repair: Mitsubishi Colt 1996, mitsubishi colt, oil leak


Question
I have oil leaking near to the water pump. It does not leak when parked up but leaks after a journey. Can you help?
Many thanks

Answer
Maggie: It sounds like to me that your valve covers need their gaskets replaced. As once the car warmer up, the weak gaskets let the oil leak just a bit but once the car cooler off. Well the gaskets are then working well enough to stop the oil leak.  Hope this helps you and good luck. Linda
