never ending saga continues...
started out as an oil and water leak. no biggie. changed all my water lines and found that oil was coming from the bottom of my motor somewhere. well water leak fixed, still leaking oil. thought it was coming from my oil pan when it was actually coming from my OMP lines the whole time. wanted to change my oil pan anyways since it was dented. changed oil pan and oil pan now leaked. changed to no gasket and went with silicone, still leaked, but now from motor mount. took it all apart again and this time oil from the oil pan is stopped its leaking. thought i was done. took it for a drive to notice that its still leaking. this is when i came to the conclusion that its the OMP lines. take everything apart to change these. in the process i :break a nipple off a solenoid(luckily it was just the nipple that the mini air filter was connected to. broke the bolt that threads into the alt(power) wire. broke the head off a bolt inside the block where the primaries are. about two connectors need to be soldered cause they just snapped apart. the rest of my harness is shot since its all hard. a black plug in the back of the alt area(similar size to one that the O2 connects to) doesnt have a home(help me with this one). now when i put it all back together after thinking im done i hear a LOUD sharp clanking noise like metal on metal around the ALT/PS area. i havent a clue what it is. this car is posessed(however you spell it). im bummed. seriously time to just take it up to ricks rotary, otherwise i wont touch it for atleast another month.
