Two problems related to engine head gasket failure have been reported for the 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine check light illuminated indicating a problem with head gaskets. Dealer replaced head gaskets. However, engine check light remained on. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Mitsubishi replaced the head gasket at 38,000 miles due to it leaking oil. Owner reported it leaking oil 2000 miles later. Mitsubishi denied there was a leak. I just had to replace my head gasket at 58008 miles due to it leaking oil. There is something terribly wrong with an engine that goes through 2 head gaskets at such a low mileage. I have contacted Mitsubishi and am in the process of trying to settle this matter through the dealer. This is a problem that truly needs a solution.
