pics up soon, i used degreaser to clean them then sanded to make the surface a bit rough, then sprayed. holy hell the left one (if your infront of the car) is hard to get off and on with all the tubes and wires going across.

Should be able to tighten the power steering pump and alt. Can use a bar to get them tighter. If its not cracked or worn should not need to replace.

ok now something weird happened today, i was trying to set my fast idle so once i finished i took my car for a spin around the block, when i got back i noticed something that resembled exhaust coming from under the hood, so i opened up the hood and it seemed to be coming from the far left corner near where the exhaust manifold meets the exhaust pipes, could've been coming from behind but i couldn't tell clearly. this is the first time this happened.

i also noticed oil that seemed to seep between my carb and the intake manifold, never seen it like this. Could i have done something when i removed the valve cover a few days ago?

is the correct term intake manifold or spacer for the piece with 2 holes cut in it?

edit: i also spilled quite a bit of the liquid in the red tubes that go from firewall to engine black, is this coolant? it spilled all over the block.

Edit again: i took a closer look seemed like some oil had leaked out from the valve cover, i tried tightening the valve cover bolts they were kind of loose, once i tightened them i wiped off oil and will check tomorrow to see if it still leaks, if it does ill take off cover and chec kto make sure the gasket is seated correctly.
