ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I EXPERIENCED AN OIL LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE @ APPROXIMATELY THE 90,000 MILE MARK. I RECENTLY HAD THIS FIXED BY RAY FLADEBOE ISUZU (IRVINE, CA.). THE RECEIPT DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM AS: REPLACING THE V.C. GASKET, OIL LEAKS FROM ENGINE, REPLACED VALVE COVER GASKET. AFTER HAVING THIS DONE, I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR ANY ISUZU ENGINE RECALLS. I CAME ACROSS "NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. # 94V132000. THIS DISCUSSES A RECALL DUE TO AN ENGINE OIL LEAK (HOWEVER IT SEEMS THAT IT MAY ONLY APPLY TO THE TROOPER). I CROSSED REFERENCED THIS RECALL NOTICE WITH ANOTHER ONE. THIS OTHER ONE WAS FOUND ON THE "CONSUMER REPORTS ONLINE" PAGE. IT STATES BASICALLY THE SAME THING ONLY IT BROADENS THE MAKES AND MODELS INVOLVED. IT ADDS THE HONDA PASSPORT ('94), AND THE ISUZU RODEO ('93-94) TO THE LIST. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE IS A 1992 ISUZU RODEO, I DID EXPERIENCE A SIGNIFICANT ENGINE OIL LEAK AT A RELATIVELY LOW MILAGE (EST. 90,000 MILES). WOULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO WHETHER OR NOT MY VEHICLE WOULD QUALIFY FOR A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH..
