hello
I have a 2000 eclipse gt with the v6 engine. I've been dealing with an oil leak from the rear valve cover since november 2012...I've replaced the gasket 2 times,added permatex ultra black, and i had no luck fixing the leak. I'm very frustrated because the oil gets on the exhaust manifold and it smokes badly,i'm also worried about the car catching fire.
It's been a few months since i don't use the car because of the leak,im a student and there's no way i'm a pay $450 to fix the leak (replacing the rear valve cover is a big job in this car)...
I'm considering adding a stop leak or something like that and get rid of the car immediatly. Which one do you guys suggest me?
It's sad because i love the car and the engine runs like new,but i have no other choice and im sick of dealing with the valve cover...It's been 4 attempts to fix it and it only gets worse.
