Challenger owner - oil leak

Can't remember where the leak looked like it was coming from, but had the cam cap seals replaced on my 2003 Challenger at 95000km about 12 months ago.
All up cost was $389 including a service, so I guess it was around $230 to replace the seals.
Touch wood, that is the only problem I have had with it.
have been extremely happy with it, towing my 18' caravan.
Hope yours go well.

I don't know how recently you purchased it, but it is not roadworthy if it drips oil.

Sorry Smokey, not sure if they were all done. I assumed they were.
They were done by my suburban mechanic in Brisbane, southside. He has one or two mechanics there who had spent quite a few years in the sevice department at a Mitsubishi dealership

More than likely the cam plug seals. These cyl. heads are reversable and therefore both ends have an opening where the camshaft sprocket can fit. The unused opening at the rear of the engine has a blanking cap fitted with an o ring seal. These seals become hard with age and heat and start to leak.
Replacing them is a very easy job, two 12mm headed bolts hold each cap in place and the genuine o rings will only cost a few $$s. Most Mitsubishi dealers stock them as it's a very common problem.

The hardest bit of the job is access as there is very little room between the back of the head and the firewall, so you have to feel your way in with a 12mm ring spanner to undo the bolts and then twist and pull the caps off as they will be quite tight. All this has to be done by feel as you cannot see very much. I've replaced countless numbers of these o rings over the years as these engines are fitted into several different vehicles.
