well mine is just the frount of the oil pan likes to squirt out when it gets up to temp.

its nothing really serious, but it does leak oil.


here soon im planing on pulling the engine, replacing all gaskets, and cleaning up the engine bay a bit.

this engine only has about 40k on it sence the rebuild, i think the guy before that owned the car just dident do it right or something *shrug*
