well dang.

I checked the oil - almost none showing. I looked under the car, and it is pretty "drippy" down there. It looks like the oil pan gasket is leaking, the front main seal, the rear (a little) and that spot I listed above. Now, true, it could be the valve cover, because it could drip to all those places, but I highly doubt it. I see no "trails" going down to those places. It might be time to swap in another 200 while I rebuild this one.

Hey anyone want to sell me their 200ci?
Steam clean the engine and change the valve cover gasket. Then look for leaks. It's a lot of work to change an engine.

What about simple green and a good engine scrub?
