My Montero is currently suffering from a series of oil leaks. All are minor as I have to real leakage when the vehicle sits (can't see any drops on the garage floor). It looks like it occurs only when the engine is on as the oil has blown back to coat the undercarriage. It does mount up though. I took it into the shop to get looked at and to find out what's wrong. Here's what they found:
-Front cam and crank seals leaking
-Valve cover gaskets leaking
-Rear cam plug seals leaking
-Recommended replacement of the timing belt and water pump since they'd have to do the labor to get into those areas anyway
Bill came in to around $1300 if want to get the work done.
In addition, if I were to keep this vehicle I'd want to replace the shocks (pretty bad in back), likely have to replace at least one of my rear drums (can hear ticking when I break), and I'm sure there is other work down the line.
