kenny Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Just got everything back together so aside from bleeding the brakes it is driveable (assuming the used Powermaster setup I bought actually works...). The only things left are small bullshit, I need a real intake (which is in the mail) and the oil return on the turbo is leaking a bit (though the bolts were loose so it might be alright now, but I do have a gasket). Basically, if I fill it with oil now and bleed the brakes, I can drive it. I've driven it all of 6 miles since owning it so I'm kinda ready to enjoy it instead of lay under it. The oil leak from the rear main isn't that bad, just a slight drip... but still. Convince me I should lay under it for a few more hours. /random Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 fuck it, oil on the exhaust looks cool help any? It has a gay ass exhaust anyway, that would probably convince me to buy a real one. Though I doubt I'm keeping the car for longer than the summer so that would probably be bad.

NOPR Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Don't do it. I want you to learn your lesson the hard way. I want that rear oil seal to bust open in the middle of a 3rd gear pull, spraying oil everywhere, killing innocent children and baby dolphins, starving your engine and turbo simultaneously and ruining everything in the entire engine bay. THEN next time we wont have to convince you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 It's going to break anyway, so I would suggest leaving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 It's an auto, so it's not like it will fry your clutch leaking a bit. Leave it, unless it is leaking badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Fuck it, let it leak, maybe the oil will go to the tire that wont spin and then you will have both back tire spinning.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinisterSS Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 you can do it now, or you can do it later possibly costing you more money than you wanna spend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 throw some lucas in it and call it a day. general knowledge anything pre-90s is not running properly if there is no leak of some sort. *side note- if you replace it, the value of the car will plumit(sp?) because it is now not original.....losing its title as a survivor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yeah throw Lucas in it if you want foam... Just fix the damn seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lustalbert Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Nice car, aw shit, is that a leak? What a POS. Besides, good excuse to lay under a car and drink a few ice cold barley pops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
