Engine Mechanical problem
2000 Mitsubishi Magna 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 154000 kilometres

Hi, I have a 3.5ltr v6 magna i have had an oil leak coming from one manifold i replaced the gasket only to find oil was then leaking through my oil filler cap. I replaced the oil filler cap with a brand new one from mitsubishi but the leak is still continuing through the cap. The only way i can see this is happening is some sort of back pressure. I am not sure what to try next to stop this problem can you guys give me some ideas. Thanks alot
