I just did an oil change today and also found my oilpan leaking from the front passenger side. Right at the corner where the pan and front cover meet. Im probably going to have to be doing this pretty soon..... Did you have to use any air tools for this? That is the only thing im lacking.

You don't need to drop your pan for that. Just remove your front cover bolts and put some RTV in each of the corners. That should seal it up just fine, and to your last question: Hell yeah I have air tools. A job like that would take for ****** ever with ratchets and wrenches.

No doubt. The best investment I have made is air tools. Plus, learning to paint makes little stuff cheap (valve covers, rims, intake....)

Let us know how it works out. Just pull your water pump and unbolt the timing cover. I would order new gaskets for both just to be safe.

Upon further inspection i think i have found the culprit. I think the rear cover is where its leaking from. It just kinda flows out from there. I still have to get a closer look to make sure. Looks like im gonna have to pull the tranny. While im in there im gonna replace my slave cylinder and do the drill mod....

yes, drill mod. Very good. I'm also putting a heat resistant sock on my clutch line so it doesn't get as hot.

Yep, holding up great! I don't think I know of any that have gone bad. Brought this one back because there were a bunch of questions about rod bolts on the Internal side.

The painted engine bay is actually holding up really well. I'm very happy with it so far. The car is garage kept and is not my DD though so I'm not sure what it would look like if I drove it in the rain etc.
