So do I need special tools, to fix this? Options

[bostonmeche]

Is this just a push rod tube seal gone bad? I need to take the cylinder head off to fix this right? Do I need any special tools to put it back together? I have a Haynes manual but to be honest I guess I'm just looking for assurance that I'm not about to turn my car into a permanent lawn ornament. Or perhaps some advice that would help prevent the same. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Are there are seals in that area that I should look to replace as well.

that's right under the oil cooler - but it's actually faster and easier to R&R the engine to replace the cooler seals than it is to do with the engine in (say the people who've done it both ways ...)

unless you have a reason to suspect you're seeing oil dripping from the cooler area above, just clean the area, replace what you can see id obviously wrong, and the address what's left another time. there will always be another time ...
