Engine propblem i have a 1997 mitsubishi eclipse gs-t and i was driving it to school one day and noticed that the temperture gauge went into the hot zone then the oil gauge dropped to the no oil zone and all this white smoke can out of my engine. when i opened the hood the left side of the engine was covered in oil and it was all over the radiator pipes and the right side of the engine was leakin anti-freeze, had to get car towed home and when you go to start it it turns over but wont start, some people saw i blew the block and others say i blew the head gasket, would you know what the problem might be??

Change the trans filter and fluid.

Your problem is most likely because you are describing your vehicle as a "Gs". The only similar listings in the catalog are for a "GSX". (The parts counter person probably has no clue that there is a difference) The GSX is only built in a turbo version, therefore you will not find a water outlet for the non-turbo version...it simply does not exist.

Now, if you simply describe it as an Eclipse, there are water outlets listed for the turbo 2.0L, the non-turbo 2.0L and the non-turbo 2.4L engines. You did not bother to mention engine size, so I will list the part numbers for BOTH of the non-turbo engines.

For the 2.4L engine: Compressor Works Part Number 815517

For the 2.0L engine: Compressor Works Part Number 815576

Both are available from AutoZone

What size engine and engine type? The engine type should be printed on the decal under the hood.

It's an RS, assy plant Bloomington-Normal,IL

check your shocks first, then make sure the brake booster isn't acting up. it'll be a lot cheaper if you just take your car to a good suspension service shop, instead of becoming a PART SWAPPER, LOL

Hope help with this (rememmber rated this).

check to make sure the temperature sending unit wire is still connected ,turn key on and disconnect temp wire from sensor to see if you have any voltage,if you do replace the unit.

sounds like the wheel bearing is bad

Not sure what size of motor you have so please choose what you need:

1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS

If you take your vehicle to a local autozone or advanced auto parts they are able to read the code for free and tell you in rough estimation what may be wrong, base your desicion on what they have to say
