2001 Mitsubishi Montero Leak
Engine Mechanical problem
2001 Mitsubishi Montero 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 170000 miles
I have a leak that it seems to be between my valve covers and block: That would be a head gasket I assume? It's not a huge leak but is there anything I can do to slow it down temp. until we get the money to fix it? I just had the valve covers, a tune up, new tires and new catalytic converter installed as well as AC Compressor. I really don't want to spend any more money..

Hi there,
If you try and re tension the head you will cause more problems , same with adding any stop leak muck, best leave until you can do the job correctly.
