Yeah... seems like there are rednecks in Japan that work for Mitsubishi. 
I also noticed that my O2 sensor was cross threaded into my stock cat. It was a beotch to remove.... and was an even bigger beotch to install into my cat delete pipe. Hmmmm?

The service guy told me to just get some JB weld on there. 
No really, he did. (I'm a helicopter pilot and he used to be a crew chief so we get along alright)
It shouldn't be a big deal hopefully. It just makes you wonder about things when you see an engine that's been around since the 80's and it shows you problems before 3k miles.
You call me a pansy again and I'll kill ya.

Have you tried talking with any of the Local EVO guys? There is a plethora of knowledge on EVo's in this area? The dealer you are talking about (Peete Moore I am assuming) is not very good about fixing issues (at least in my experience). Try pming bpclements or w_tomas and see if they can look at it for you.

I'm about to complete my helicopter training in two weeks so I'll be leaving this state soon.

LOL.... The service guy told you that? The dealer should fix that for you under warranty with out a problem. If the dealers playing games call mitsubishi direct and talk to them.

He was joking around with me. They are going to fix it under warranty as soon as the parts get in... all of two crush washers. I hope it works. I'll let you guys know.
Till then... duct tape time baby!

Update:
I had the dealership replace a couple of crush washers for one of the oil feed lines. I drove the car home, wash it up, and check underneath. It's leaking worse now than before! Oil is absolutely all over the place on the aft portion of the motor. Burned oil is caked all over my downpipe, cat delete, control arms, drive shaft, etc. etc. What the hell?
What's with this lemon law thing? This doesn't seem like a huge deal (i.e. it's only one single fault) so, what am I to do? I haven't hit 3,000 miles on the car yet and I've already added half a quart of oil because of it's awesome ability to loose oil. It's not oil consumption... it's oil dumption... all over the ground and my hot as hell downpipe. The smell is awesome at stoplights. I smell like an old truck.
