This is true. My 1998 Stratus developed a leak at 52,000 miles. Oil
began dripping from the left rear corner of the head. The replacement
MLS gasket fixed the problem. The MLS gasket began use in February or
March 1999. According to a Chrysler repair tech that I spoke with,
very few leak again once the MLS gasket is properly installed.
