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 -------------------- Mike W

He says it could be the camshaft, timing belt, head gasket, or oil pan. ... But its wet where the oil pan isnt.. like, above it. Where do I find the rocker cover gasket? im not understanding exactly. Thx |
