is there an easy way to check? if my seals are going. if so how much do u think it would cost to get them replaced? or would it be cheaper to get a new engine. i have a 13b in it now can a swap for 13bt? or do i have to change drivetrain as well?

Why does it have to be push started? When you try to start it normally, what happens? Does the starter turn over at all?
Have you done anything to the car recently before the problem started?

maybe a stuck starter gear.. the car not starting on its own and grinding but starting with a push (not using the starter) sounds more like a starter issue..
