Got the car running tip top.
Replaced coil,plugs.injectors,old rubber hoses,etc. Now I am down to my biggest remaining problem:Oil Leaks. When I had the car in to shop getting fucked up,they told me these were the areas that had leaks. Rear Main seal. Oil leaking from head(cylinder seal),I am assuming head gasket. Differential side seals.(Probably NOT RELATED???). The car is running great,but it is loosing a lot of oil through these leaks. Questions: 1.Can I fix these thing without removing the engine???(This is the last thing I want to do). 2. Where do I start. Thanks for any suggestions. Grant. |

A head leak is typically push rod tube seals, unless you have a cracked head.
RMS is best done with the engine pulled. Agree with not that hard. Define how much oil is leaking. They all leak, its just how much and where. Dad's car had a cracked head and I drove it with a massive oil leak. Just didn't drive hard near any rollers. |
