89 vert, and when I got it, it leaked oil from
1. The oil pan- removed and form a gasket on both sides of new gasket
2. The front cover- Gee, is the gasket supposed to be in two pieces and sticking out the top? Replaced and Form a gasket
3. The oil cooler- I guess the previous owner didn't have big wrenches.
4. The omp feed line- He didn't have small wrenches either
5. The omp- crushed rubber gasket. Ok, so he had a breaker bar and no sense of alignment.
and of course other leaks...
6. Coolant from cracked radiator top- it's all metal now.
7. Oil spills from adding oil- funnel fixed that.
Hope that makes many of you with little leaks feel better. You should have seen it when I stopped, and oil leaked onto the muffler/converters. I disappeared.....

Thought mine was fixed, but still leaking oil from new oil cooler lines and ps fluid from rebuilt rack (after 5 times back to the shop). Also, now the wheel does not return to center after a turn, just goes in circles unless I straighten it out.

When I bought my 88' GXL with 147000 she was leaking oil from the original cooler lines.. I had them replaced with RB braided lines and I haven't seen a drop since..
