I just got a used 04 SRT4 last week. but i noticed that it leak oil. it is leaking from the driver side front bumper. I put it on a rack and it looks to be dripping down the up pipe from the intercooler. I toke it into dodge and they told me that it is a common thing for the neon and that chrysler said that there was no fix for it. Has anyone else had any problem like this. My car has 29000 miles. Right back if anyone has info

totally normal. it has to do with teh pcv system. as the pcv dumps oil vapor into the throttle body, some pools and, with the way the TB is directed, it naturally flows downhill. meaning that oil pools in your intercooler. this leak is totally normal. get onto www.srtforums.com adn do a search for catchcan. taht will get rid of it, but be aware that it is technically not legal in any state, to install a catchcan setup in your emissions system

thats a lot of oil in the catchcan. you might want to do a compression check to see hwo your rings are. that seems like a lot of blowby. i have very little oil in mine
