i just recently changed my front main seal, because of a oil leakage problem i had(really bad) but there is still oil comming out and i don't know what it is, I'm not sure to change all the seals up front(4 of them i believe). now all of this shi* started happening after my oil pump hose came off for some reason and all my oil basically drained out of the car. i was only driving it for like 30 sec when my oil light came on. i proceed to pull over , but before i even had the chance to. the car shut off on me and made a really loud metal to metal thump. i toed it home and when i took off the valve cover i saw that the a 1 cam journal had looked like it grind ed by a grinder, as so did the bearing. any way i rebuilt the head and reinstalled it. it sounded fine other than a lifter tick(cured with some tyranny fluid).i drove the car for the first time to taco bell , and and i noticed that there was white smoke coming from under the car. i later found out that it was because of an extremely bad oil leak on the exhaust pipe, thus lots of white smoke. i took it to Mitsubishi, a mechanic looked at it and told me that it was probally a bad seal. so i changed it... still got the oil leak. so basically what i want to kbnow is it possible pressure in the crankcase could cause this , or something that i just don't know about. please help! sorry for the long thread//
