I'm considering buying this car. It leaks a few drops of oil when it sits overnight, the heat has been removed but he has all the parts -- i'll put it back on.

Rob,
That looks like a possible rust problem up behind the fuel pump, & probably at the battery tray/hell hole area above it. but you also want to check floor pans, F&R trunk floors, behind the engine bay firewall heat/sound pad (as I found out on mine this weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ), under seats, as well as the body topside for rust, etc., etc. I have no idea what that tatty looking cloth wrap is on those lines under the engine - maybe a bad attempt to insulate CA lines? Anyway, you'll need to post more pix here if you want help from the "experts" here, & also try to get a local teener expert &/or a mechanic experienced on them to go with you to check it over & test drive it before you jump! Plan on a couple of three hours in good weather during daylight, & go to Jeff Bowlsby's classic914 website (see his sig line on 914world), & download/print the 914 assessment form to use when you go for the real assessment. |
