Leaks...........

[Jetlaag]

Man, I'll tell ya, if my car leaks any more fluids, I'll be empty on all fronts...

1. Rear end leaked... Bad seals. fixed. Finally.

2. Eng oil leak. Rear seal. Fixing very soon. Ordered new oil pan gaskets with a new set of gaskets for my new cam order. Also found out that I must have a crack in my valve cover, as engine oil is leaking all over the top of the valve cover. No breather on this valve cover. Although there is a perforated ring on the valve cover where one could be cut out. I think that a portion of the perforation may go all the way through causing the oil leak.

3. Fuel leak. Finally fixed the fuel vent problem, however, while filling up at gas station, the guy next to me says "Hey, your leaking fuel all over!!!". Under the car is a huge pool of gas about 3 feet in circumference. I immediately push the car out of harms way and start it and drive it away. I drive for a couple of miles and stop to check for leak, and yes the fuel tank is still leaking. I continue to drive all the way home and stop in front of my house and check for leak. Yes, still leaking. I drive some more and finally return home to check once again and NO leak, finally.
This is only a problem when I fill the tank up and has happened 3 times. If I put in only about 8-9 gallons it is no problem.

Anyone else have a problem with an early model plastic fuel tank???

4. The tranny has leaked, but that was only because of the angle the car was on while on jack stands... No prob there.

5. Blood leak. Well that was just me cranking wrenches....

6. Knock on wood. The only fluid that has not leaked from my car is radiator fluid... Woo Hoo... Let's party...



Oh ya, on another subject. One of my hood latches fell off the other day... I got home and turned my hood latch to open the hood and cool off the engine, and the latch went all the way around with no problem. I opened the hood and found that the inside portion of the hood latch which was riveted onto the hood was gone.


Man, I'll tell ya, if it's not one thing, its everything else....
