98 caravan 2.4 head gasket oil leak

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by jcs444dixmyth, Nov 4, 2006.

  1. I have a 98 caravan with the 2.4 four cylinder engine that recently
    started leaking oil from the original head gasket. The van has only 41k
    miles on it which is why it hadn't leaked before now. I understand
    chrysler had a secret warranty on this problem, but I called chrysler
    and they said they wouldn't help with the repair because of the age of
    the van. Has anyone had a similar problem on an older low mileage 2.4
    and gotten any help from chrysler?

    There is Not much hope on cry helping.
    You might as well bite the bullet and fix or trade it.
    But with the new gasket and done right it should last a long time.
    Only problem I see on them is 4 cyl is a little under powered for a
    van.
    If you go for another van look for a 3.3 or 3.8 engine.
    Good Luck
