Im seriously starting to hate my evo..

Just found out that ive been driving along all day with oil pouring out from underneath my car, and right now its too dark to find out where its coming from, but its high enough to burn, and create smoke. I LOVE EVOS.

S-H-I-T happens. If you still have warranty take it to a mod friendly dealer.

haha I am far from that.

Decently modded (though they are pretty mod friendly there), but over the warranty... I have 52k mile on mine.

u know about as much as i do.... driving along (my daily driver), i hardly ever get on it.....and it decides to start dumping its oil everywhere...and looks like it has been most of the day, but i didnt know until my dad called and told me about my puddle in the driveway and going down the street, etc. I just know its dripping from the middle.

This is why it is a good idea to buy the extended warranty. Good luck!

if you say in the middle, its a good posibility that 1. oil filter may not be screwed on too tightly, 2. oil drain plug a little loose. 3 there could be a leak around either the supply for the turbo or the oil return line from the turbo. Anywhere else you have a bigger problem than you know. I hope its just a swist of the two above. becareful not to drive around like that because the oil can catch on fire. good luck and don't be discourage. and by your sign, going from srt-4 to evo is always a better choice.

keep it up and no more EVO!!!

We in the US *****ed for 5 years + for Mitsubishi to bring the EVO to the US and now all people can do is complain. Its not just you man but damn if we keep complaining were going to keep getting passed up on the good cars. My last one was the 240 HP BMW M3. Pretty nice but about 70 HP shy of the euro model.

Hmm, tough to say but I'm going to say an oil feed line or return to the turbo. Have you ever replaced it before.
