I have a 92 eagle talon. its turboed and all wheel drive. it has a 2.0 straight four cylinder engine in it with about 1455,000 miles on it and i keep on losing all of my oil and i end up finding it on my drive way. from what i can tell from having it up on a lift, i beleive it is the head gasket that is blown. (i hear that talons are famous for blowing the head gaskets from alot of people.) But anyways i suppose i will have to replace the head gasket, but here is the part i dont get. from reading articles on the web and talking to other D.S.M. owners they say that if i use just a regular head gasket again that i should be ready to redo it all in 30,000 miles or so, they all recomened using a copper head gasket and the copper gaskets all the way around the engine as well. Is goin with a copper head gasket the right solution to solve my problem for a more than average length of time? Or are talons famous for leaking the oil from anywhere else like the turbo that i could go and re check to make shure? Thak you very much for your helpful input!!!

hi, i saw your question just after i posted mine, I'm going through the same problem, but wasn't told anything bout needed copper head gaskets. and so far I haven't found mine leaking anywhere else. (non-turbo) hope this helps get a gauge on the prob, common yet a OEM part will likely be all it takes to get your leak stopped
