Drives: 1996 Talon AWD. Built, but no longer drives: 1997 mitsubishi eclipse RS; 1990 Talon AWD; 1995 Talon AWD, 1997 Talon AWD. Seems like a pattern
the oil leak could be anything in that area. There is the oil pump, front main seal, balance shaft, cam seals

the idle problem could be a dirty throttle body

Park your car over a piece of cardboard tonight and first thing in the morning you can see EXACTLY where the drips are coming from. As for the idle problem, mabe dirty throttle body (as said before),TPS, O2, MAF, ect......Is your CEL on?

i'm having the same problem with my idle, sometimes it will almost die, then come back to normal idle, then almost die, back to normal. ect ect. i have to keep tappin the gas to get it to quit. but every time it does that, all my lights in my car (guages, headlights, radio, ect) dim.


And everytime i hit my brake all my lights dim as well, as if my alternator was bad, but thats impossible i changed it yesterday, because i thought that was it. could it be the battery?

Yes. Autozone or pepboys will test it for you for free :) Check you alternator and bat terminals as well. Make sure there is no corrosion.

I'm having the same problem too. Sometimes after the car has been sitting over night when I start it in the morning it either dies or idles low and rough untill I pull out of the driveway and down the street then its better. But while driving (warmed up or not) sometimes when I put the clutch in to come to a stop it almost dies (dash lights come on) then the rpms pick back up to about 800 then its fine. It rarely dies after warmed up but tries to die a lot. I've changed the throttle body and tps and my O2 sensor checked out good; but it could possibly be the battery?

well, I had the same problem on my GST and it turned to be that the BOV was closing after pssssssss, (lol) so check yours, hope is that because if it is the c- walking you are screwed really bad, prepare yourself to spend real money, anyway, for the c-walking there are more symptoms you should check to be shure about it, here is a link that contains the experiences of people who passed that problem and survived somehow...

How low are you idling? I have my 93 set to idle at 750-900 (it idles really smooth :D ) and sometimes it'll wanna die after pulling it outta gear just bc it may not be warmed up and its a low idle.
