MY19 98 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WITH THE 2.4LTR ENGINE DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK AT APPROX. 49,000 MILES. AFTER TEDIOUS SEARCHING, I FOUND THE LEAK WAS CONFINED TO THE HEAD GASKET. WHICH HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. I ASKED CHRYSLER IF THEY HAD ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD NO. SO THEN I DECIDED TO CHECK THE INTERNET, AND LORDY LORDY THE PLACE WAS OVERFLOWING WITH A MULTITUDE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A FACTORY DESIGN PROBLEM, WHICH GIVES TO A SERIOUS POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF PROPERTY OR LIFE DUE TO THE OIL LEAKING COULD CATCH FIRE AS IT DRIPS AND MISTS IT'S WAY UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE EXHAUST AND CONVERTER ARE BOTH IN THE PATH OF THE OIL. CHRYSLER SHOULD REIMBURSE ALL MONEYS PAID IN TRYING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.*AK
