But would the rear main seal or the valley cover gasket leaking make the car run like ****? i mean, the car is obviously running shitty. Maybe its sucking oil into the engine from one of the screwed up gaskets and making it run shitty?

Hey guys,

Sorry to crash your thread, but I'm a new F-body owner in the Phoenix area and am told that I have a leaking rear main seal and oil pan. Can anyone recommend a good place to take it and a rough idea of what it should cost to fix?

Thanks

Did you check and make sure your PCV hose didn't come loose? That would open up one of the valve covers and let oil spray out, as well as let noise from the rockers out too, which could be your ticking noise.

It would also create a vacuum leak behind the throttle body, which would make the car run like ****...


Anyway, I think my buddy Ryan and I will probably come meet up with you guys at 7. Are we talking the 51 freeway and Bell, or 51st Ave and Bell??

Sweet I'll see you guys there. Not sure yet if we'll head out to Speedworld or not, or just sit and chill for a little bit and meet everyone.

Yes, actually, twice. And almost a third, but I figured out they were coming off when the T-top shade nearly broke my nose when the t-top popped up just enough to catch some 120+ air speed.

Good times.
