About to buy a NHRA bird... Has Leak.. Any ideas?
My father and I are looking at a '00 NHRA bird. (Big woop...)
Well, we took it out for a test drive... and on the way we stopped at a service shop to put it up on the rack. I am kinda disheartened to see a oil leak comming from the back of the block.
We are thinking it is either oil-pan leak (oil pan was seal on with silicon... not an OEM gasket), rear-main, or possibly the filter, each of which is a relatively inexpensive fix.
Can anyone think of something worse it might be...?
Motor runs strong... car has 97k miles and is a 6-speed.
Wasn't able to pin-point location due to the fact that the oil is everywhere.

Alright... Its fixed. Mechanics error. When he did the clutch, we also had him replace the rear main. He crimped it wrong when putting in the new one, so after inspection, it was again replaced, and properly this time. No more leak...
