Can so many things go wrong at the same time?

[BlckTalon]

I have a 95 Talon Esi, which I've had for about a year and a half now. No real big problems for a while but all of a sudden over the winter, things went heywire. I had it stored (sorta) I drove it every once and a while on nice days to get things moving. But as I permanently took it out of storage, I noticed a lot of things wrong.

1. It's leaking oil like crazy. I put it on a lift at my school and checked it out but its really hard to tell where its coming from. Its coming from the back of the engine towards the firewall at the middle top. I want to say its a head gasket problem, but I didnt notice any coolant coming out or coolant in my oil when i changed it.

2. About 2 weeks ago, my suspension started squeeking all the time. Everytime i go over a bump or get out of my car, the strut squeeks. I have aftermarket struts and springs with no camber kit. And when Im going around a corner (right or left), the left front wheel sounds like its scratching. Im guessing this is a ball joint defect, but im not sure. i looked at the ball joints and it doesnt look like any of the boots are ripped but i could be wrong.

Thanks

Well for the oil leak. i had the same thing. it seems like its leaking down the back of the engine? mine would leave little oil spots everywhere i parked. is there oil sitting on top of the head, by the spark plugs? mine did that and i believe it was the valve cover gasket, the one that chrysler screwed up. have that checked. i had mine replaced 2 weeks after i got it, cause oil was leaking everywhere. that was last august. it was just replaced again january. those gaskets are no good.

And when Im going around a corner (right or left), the left front wheel sounds like its scratching.

That sounds like a wheel bearing but im not sure. that would be my guess.

hope that helps, keep us posted, good luck

Its not the valve cover gasket, i just replaced that and its still leaking. I seems like its coming from lower, like just under the intake manifold if that helps? Thanks. And Ill check in on the wheel bearing.

It does sound like a wheel bearing, as far as the oil leak goes every time you store a car you should start it and if possible drive it occasionally to prevent seals and gaskets from drying up and cracking. good luck
