Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

Sometimes there is a leak from the turbo that may show up around the oil pan area, just thought I would mention that. Turbos often leak on the Delica but usually don't make it to the ground. As far as parts are concerned: There are a few suppliers and installers ~ CVI; Japanoid; Amazing Autos come to mind. The engine is a "4D56/2.5 litre turbo" and was/is used in the Galant & Pajero as well as the Delica. Have you checked out the Delica Wiki link on this site? ( http://wikrad.com/delica/index.cgi ) Lots of info there... smiles.

Very similar engine was also in North American sold Mitsubishi captive import in early-mid 80's called Dodge RAM 50, 4D55 but only the head is different.

hi. if ya can get a pressure washer (hot) wand under there + clean most of it off you will most likely be able to see new drips + work your way up to the highest point where fluid is present. hope that helps. its really hard to find a weep on a really dirty engine.

Something else you can try is the engine-oil stop-leak since it rejuvenates the rubber parts that come in contact with the oil.

Just supporting Falco's comment - mine is leaking slightly from the Turbo...making a bit of a mess, but none it making it to the ground yet.....
By the way - gave you a wave heading South over Lions Gate yesterday around noon! Could tell it was you by the lettering in the window!!!

Cool, I saw you too but I think I flashed the lights a wee bit late! Thanks for the wave... smiles.

I want to revive this post as the question left unanswered: where to get an oil pan gasket? Any cross reference numbers or clues?
