My JH is down for now.
It seems oil is leaking from every gasket on the car. Major leak is either from the oil filter seal or one of the hoses leading to (or from) the oil cooler. There is oil in the fins of the oil pan (this may be from the blown filter seal) and some coming from the gearbox plug.
The cam cover gaskets gave out as well and now we have marvelous smoke from oil to the header. I just ordered the new rubber ones.
I decided to tackle some of it last night and bought some new 20-50 VR1 and a new WIX filter and thought I would see if that fixed part of the issue...........
As some folks on here have encountered, the brass drain plug was so chewed up that I cant get a solid grip with any wrench (BS/W, Metric or STD lol).
So now I have to get the car on a lift so I can wrestle this thing off. Any tips????????
Oh man oh man, we have already missed two shows and my garage floor is a bloody mess.
Happy Easter gents.
