So, today, i took the celi to th mechanic. Ive had a oil leak.. need to know where its coming from. They hoist it up, n tell me it good be various things. Apperently they think its my head gasket... mad.gif But it could be somthing as simple as a seal... i dont think it is though. They couldnt give me a straight answer, kind of annoying. I guess i cant really find out till rip the whole d*mn thing apart. The problem is $$$$$ this celi is starting to be a money pit.

head gasket wtf?

u mean rocker cover gasket?

this repair shouldn't be too expensive, I know with these FE engines they leak at the rocker cover gasket at the back of the engine and sometimes around the sump and oil pan

if you just pop them off, replace the gaskets and seal off with silicone sealant it should be good as gold.

just take your car to a car wash, and wash underneath the car then take it for a drive until you can see fresh oil and that's where it's coming from
