ahardb0dy Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If the rear seal was leaking you wouldn't see oil Above it, it would only Leak going down, if around (below) your valve cover (s) looks wet probably leaking from the valve cover gasket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEviLDeD Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Day 24 of 10 Hell or high water I needed to get the axles done this weekend. They are both finally completed. The only things left now are the fuel lines, oil leak (starting to really think its from the valve cover fairly confidently) and the windshield. I cannot believe that it has taken this long. Had the weather stayed nicer for a few more days this would have been done. Either way it is SOOO close now. Thanks for sticking with me everyone! I appreciate it huge.

MrEviLDeD Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Day 30 of 10 Ok not a lot of progress bloody weather. Next place I moved to will have a frigging garage I can work in. This was and is absolutely ridiculous. I would have been done a long time ago had I had a good break in the winter weather. Too much to ask for I am certain but at least I did make most of the progress as so far. Found a place finally that did the windshield for 245$ + 20$ for moulding, and another 25$ I splurged for Aquapel coating for the windshield. When she goes under insurance I will take out a special policy on glass this time Thanks everyone for the encouragement to shop around for the windshield I was reserved to have to go into speedy or apollo and pay 500$+. Now that should leave me enough room to pay for a proper front end alignment to be done opposed to my trying to do it myself on an uneven street. Before it gets dark I should probably get out there and put on the new drive belts and get them off the list as it looks pretty silly those items still being there, Current day 30 score: Valve Cover Gaskets (Left/Right) - Status: May Require Replacement Rear Oil Seal (May Leak) - Status: Purchased, May Require Replacement Windshield - Status: FIXED Accessory Belts (Alt/Water Pump) - Status: Purchased, Needs Replacement Accessory Belts (Power Steering Pump) - Status: Purchased, Needs Replacement Accessory Belts (Air Conditioning) - Status: Needs Replacement Fuel Lines (Fuel #1) - Status: Purchased, Needs Replacement Fuel Lines (Fuel #2) - Status: Purchased, Needs Replacement Fuel Lines (Fuel Return) - Status: Purchased, Needs Replacement Left CV Axle - Status: FIXED Tie-Rod Ends (Left-Inner/Outer/Adjuster) - Status: FIXED Ball Joints (Upper-Left, Lower-Left)- Status: FIXED Wheel Bearings (Front-Left-Inner+Races) - Status: FIXED Wheel Bearings (Front-Left-Outer+Races) - Status: FIXED Right CV Axle - Status: FIXED Tie-Rod Ends (Right-Inner/Outer/Adjuster) - Status: FIXED Ball Joints (Upper-Right, Lower-Right)- Status: FIXED Wheel Bearings (Front-Right-Inner+Races) - Status: FIXED Wheel Bearings (Front-Right-Outer+Races) - Status: FIXED Daylight Running Lamps - Status: FIXED Battery Hold Down - Status: FIXED Rear Bumper (Full Bumper) - Status: FIXED Tire Condition (Front Set) - Status: FIXED Getting SOOOO close now...

MrEviLDeD Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 On a side note I cannot wait for the weather to warm up as it also has been too cold to go out there and clean the oiled up areas to check for the proper leaks and I am personally getting tired of guessing.

Nefarious Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If there's oil on the heads of your motor than its the valve cover gaskets and they will have to be done anyway. Might as well just pull the plenum and re do all the gaskets up there. It's really not that bad of a job to pull the plenum. Takes about 30-40 mins if you have long needle nose pliers (for some of the tensioned hose clamps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEviLDeD Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Pricing those gaskets is going to set me back another 150$ through Napa. So I am hoping that I can get a better deal from Rob just waiting for a response. Otherwise I am off the shelf for a little bit or I need to do my own wheel alignment and buy the gaskets. However I am in agreement with you. If I am going to do it I might as well do it properly and complete as I possibly can. Will give me a good chance to clean the throttle body assembly as well. Eventually I might even be able to answer help questions here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEviLDeD Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Ok, weather is finally breaking.. Maybe I can FINALLY break off these last few items. I haven't given up just had to refocus while the weather improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
