I have a 1991 LeBaron convertable with the 3.0L V6. I have an oil leak, and thought it might be the valve covers. I replaced both valve covers, and still leaking, but I can't see from where. It seems to be coming from the front center of the engine, and is leaking pretty good. Where is the common leak spot for these vehicles, in that location?

some have noticed oddness with lights.

no Not all ways true I changed the Oil sending unit on My 1993 Chrysler lebaron convertible 3.0 Now it is still Leaking and it is not the oil filter the leak is above the oil filter. some where it is not from the engine block area !!! I replace valve cover Gaskets . and Oil sending unit. thank u . still coming from above the Filter and it is not th e filer.......

Have the engine steam cleaned (watch any electronics) Run the engine & start looking from the top, down. It may be a bad valve cover leak from the rear of the cover or ck the front & rear seals. (cracked head, block etc. It could be many places

You don't say what engine it has. The 4-cyl was a better than the V6 for oil leaks.

The V6 had oil leaks from

-rear bank cam cover gasket

-distributor o-ring seal

-oil filter bracket o-ring seal

-crankshaft nose oil seal (less common)

-rear main bearing oil seal (expensive, just leave it)

The 4 cyl leaked oil from

-distributor o-ring seal

-camshaft cover gasket

-rear main bearing seal (expensive, leave it)

Check front crankshaft seal from under car, see if you see oil coming out of back of pulley.

If all you did was remove the pan and service it then 3 and 3/4 liters will fill it. If it was rebuilt and has no fluid at all then it will take 8 and 1/2 liters

The problem is over tightening.

If you over tighten your fastners you will sqeeze your gaskets too much and they WILL leak.

You can use black silicon sealant LIGHTLY but you don't really need it. If you have the V6...the torque on them nuts are only 80 in lbs each

Here's a link that should help you. Little bit of reading but at least you 'll know what your getting into.
