Ok here is the situation. I purchased my FD with a pretty nasty oil leak, which i thought was coming out of the oil pan. So i set a weekend aside to pull the pan and re-seal it figuring it would fix the leak.

Well low and behold after letting the silicone dry over night and taking the car for a quick spin around the block. I pull back into my shop and the motor is dripping oil . So i put the car on the rack and come to find out the leak is gushing out of the oil valley where the front cover meets the rotor housing (where the oil cooler line connects).

So now my next mission is to pull the front cover and change the gasket. I was wondering if anybody on here has done it and what all will I need as far as gaskets and/if any special tools?

 

i think the manual explains the full tear down and reblild..has torque spec and stuff..i dont know if it will be of any help but i think it will be a shallow start..lol. hope that helps

this is a lot of work actually. ;___; but most of the cost is in the labor.


if its really leaking that bad u may consider a new engine. most likely other things are leaking also.

 

Well im gonna do it myself so im not to worried about the labor part of it. I realize its gonna be alot of work but im up for it. Thats the only leak so im not planning on getting a new motor over it. Im just trying to figure out what gaskets im gonna need. I think im just being lazy and should read the manual to figure it out
