[TexasBoy]

no not yet. i plan on it, but im not sure if thts where the leak is. i may this weekend when i replace the radiator.

check to make sure the valve covers are not leaking and running down the engine before you rip the pan off. That is a common problem with the gen1's

thnx. i just got my ex for about 700 its n ok condition minus the oil leak and the radiator

Check the rear for a main seal leak. Leaks could come from a bad washer on the drain plug, or a loose oil filter too.

Mine has the prob with leaking valve covers. I have the gaskets, just haven't had time to rip into it and change them. Pain to get all the intake stuff off.

yeah, it looks intimidating, but its not too bad. Just make sure you have a new upper intake gasket, I think the newer VC gasket kits are coming with them but if you didn't get one, you will need to.
