Can someone tell me this isn't what I know it is......
 
Just getting the FD going again after about 10 years. I remember when I parked it, it was smoking a bit at idle. I attributed it to the oddly clocked CHRA on my 35r and would fix it at some point or another. I have an odd exhaust housing that makes clocking it a PITA.

Fast forward 10 years. I flush the coolant, looks great. No signs of rust whatsoever. Drop the oil, looks good as well. I go to pull the plugs to throw a bit of oil in the rotor housings and this is what I see. Fuck me man. This motor only had 1500 miles on it tops when I parked it and only dyno'd for drivability at 8 psi. This thing was baby'ed. Can someone please tell me this isn't from an oil seal?!

Could be oil, fuel, etc. Change all the fluids, put in new plugs, fire up the car, and see what happens.

10-4. Waiting on a new battery. Turns out Odyssey batteries don't last 10 years.
