Take what I say with a grain of salt because I don't really know anything........but I can't see how that could cause any problems, short of speeding up global warming........

Hardly something for an FD owner to be worried about, I imagine.

It will mostly just be annoying, no real long term or short term problems. I'd get it fixed soon just because it makes the car sound like crap .

i just did the rats nest, lim metal gasket and d/p. i thought i put on the gasket on wrong in the beginning, but luckly it was just the d/p. i would've been pissed if it was the gasket leaking. changing the LIM gasket sucks. i takes like 5 minutes to do the gasket and 2-3 hours to get there ( my first time job). have fun if you ever decide to change it yourself. i kinda of thought about paying someone to do it for me, but since i am capable i said the hell with it and took on the challenge....sorry for rambling!!!
