Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / October 2004Chrysler 2.4L Engine Oil Leak
Does anyone have the details of the TSB regarding oil leaks for this 2.4L 4cyl. Chrysler engine? My friends 1997 Plymouth Voyager with a 2.4L enhine with only 42K miles has developed a serious oil leak. Leak seems to be from the cyl. head area? TSB 09-08-99, No speacial details, R&R cyl head and replace with updated gasket Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech > Does anyone have the details of the TSB regarding oil leaks for this 2.4L 4cyl. > Chrysler engine?

What would happen if the gasket is not replaced, BUT oil level is maintained despite the leak. There does not appear to be any problem with coolant like right now. Is it a problem with gasket sealing at the edges around the oil passages? Is Chrysler replacing the gasket at no charge if the vehicle is over 5 years old? > Does anyone have the details of the TSB regarding oil leaks for this 2.4L 4cyl. > Chrysler engine?

A typical symptom is an oil leak on the right rear of the head and block (facing the vehicle). In 1999 the head gasket was redesigned for both the 2.0 and 2.4 L engines but obviously your friend's 1997 predates that change.

Oil began dripping from the left rear corner of the head. The replacement MLS gasket fixed the problem. The MLS gasket began use in February or March 1999. According to a Chrysler repair tech that I spoke with, very few leak again once the MLS gasket is properly installed. -Kirk Matheson |
