mine doesn't leak. But it did when i put mobil 1 5W50. The oil was to thin and was finding its way out of the engine. Put the proper viscosity back in (15W50) and she is all good now.

My GTU leaked like crazy until I replace the O -rings on the oil pedistal.

Now it's nice and wet from the blow coolant seal!!!
Figures I replace a simple part a week before and then it blows up for good.

Damn FC gremlins!

Mine is dry at long last, thanks to new oil cooler lines, new ps rack and hoses, new rad and hoses, new brake lines.
