I have 2000 Stratus ES 2.5L has an oil leak.

I replace both valve cover gaskets and formed in place oil pan gasket.

Detected oil leak with oil dye and UV Light.

The rear exhaust manifold has 4 bolts/nuts that attach it to the cylinder head.
The 2 bolts/nuts on the drivers side and 1 bolt/nut on the passenger side are cover with oil.
Only the bolts/nuts are covered with oil. There is no trace of oil between the bolts/nuts.

I have no leaks from the valve cover gaskets or oil pan.

Does anyone have any suggestion or has anyone encounter this type of oil leak?

Thanks

 

I have determine the oil leakoriginates from the distributor assembly mounting. the oil leaks on to rear edge of the rear cylinder head and on the exhuast manifold.


Does anyone have any suggestion on how to remove and install a new rear camshaft seal for rear cylinder head on a 2000 dodge stratus ES 2.5L ?
