ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE HAD MY CAR CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC AND HE HAS STATED THAT THE OIL LEAK IS COMING FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD IN THE BACK OF THE MOTOR. HE ALSO STATED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT & THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT BACK TO A DODGE DEALER TO GET REPAIRED. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE, BUT IT IS A COSTLY MECHANICAL REPAIR ISSUE THAT I FEEL NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR POSSIBLE RECALL TO REPAIR. *AK
