My intake manifold gaskets failed. The original ones are made from paper. They break down from oil, I went to mitsubishi today and they now replace them with metal gaskets.Confirmed by the sales person that they changed them to metal cause the old paper ones break down
My ones were virtually non existent.
Nothing was evident that they had failed only that I took the manifold off to change turbo.

I suggest you change the original ones as they suck anything in bypassing the filters. Water included.
Of course no recall is apparent.


Beware.
