I guess I'm going too have too go to my local garage..thanks

 

Wait 'till you see what's next. You may decide some oil and an occasional cleaning is a better deal. :helpless:

 

My brother insist we can do this...my brother in law is an mechanic for an Cadillac dealership but that doesn't mean they will do the work any cheaper if I bring it to his dealership...I'm gonna ask him for some tips...looking underneath it doesn't look as elaborate other than removal front diffrential that we can support via jack stands but from what I understand it's a pain...I'm ordering the gasket now...I guess I'm going bleed my knuckles all weekend...pray for me

 

If you are talking the rear main seal, that does require removal of the transmission, not fun either.

In either case you've got a lot of stuff to remove/replace. I think you'll miss most of the second half of the game. Good luck

Oh, to be 36 again

 

Ha ha thanks for giving me an idea on what I'm getting myself into..gonna get up early on Sunday for this one...do I have too remove the trans rear main seal in order to get too the pan?...if that's the case I should get a rear main seal gasket set correct?...

 

Never say never, but.....

 

Rear seal and pan are separate deals.

Before you start, be sure where the leak is. You have front and rear crankshaft seals, pan to lower block gasket (re-usable) and a lower block (101) to main block (100) joint.

 

:alchi:

 

Thank you do much...before any work I'm putting the car up on stands and inspect further I am gonna report here and see what's the damage...I have a feeling i may have a leak on the bottom of the front cover and rear shaft...after trips I can smell hot oil burning...possibly oil kicking back on the exhaust...the front of the oil pan is full of oil tho...I checked from the seals and apears to be a bit wet...also the bottom of the radiator has dried oil spots towards the right side

Check front diff for oil level and output shaft seal.

 

Now... if you could catch some of that, and pump it back into the fuel system, you could recycle and create a hybrid system.

I had a 1964 Rambler Classic 550 that burned 1 quart per 12 gallons of gas! I never had a problem with mosquitoes

Sorry to hear you are having to replace your oil pan gaskets - - I am sure that is not what you had planned to do this weekend! .

 

Well we cleaned the pan.(decided not to change gasket yet).I notice a lil leak in my rack and pinion (not serious yet,replaced rack a year and half ago)...I have too say no leak or anything seeping out and that was Sunday today is thursday,yesterday I also noticed no more burning smell...odd thing happen in Saturday tho that happen last summer only a few times...after a nice drive around the neighborhood I shut off my engine too run back in my house...then i ran back too the car too leave as soon as I start the engine the car goes near hot on the gauge than quickly it goes too the middle...is it normal? Fans kept going when shut it off again
