Hello, I have a 2004 Dodge Stratus with the 2.4 engine in it, engine has the 9 bolt valve cover pattern, not sure if that matters, engine has 125,000 miles on it, and now it has started leaking oil really bad at the rear of the engine on the drives side, oil looks like it may be coming from the head gasket, not sure. Any help sure would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Welcome to DF!

Check into the Stratus section, or any other car section that uses the same motor. Maybe someone else had the same issue.

 

Thanks, for that info. will check again and see if anyone has had this same problem.

 

Check cam sensor for wear and cracks. Possible cam walk. There are bulletins for the head gasket.

 

Thanks, for the info, I've already checked that, don't seem to be coming from there.
