Grrrrrrr!

Something dripping/burning on the x-pipe under the car. I'm not 100% sure where it's coming from yet b/c the car is so low. I hope it's not any engine seals, I don't even have 500miles on the rebuild yet. It does look like it's coming from further back than that though, like maybe the tranny. Ho hum, it's always something. I just needed to vent, sorry.

First thing to check is the back of the intake the notorious intake leak, could of maybe not been sealed correctly or blown some of the silicone out of it. easy fix, reach your hand back there and see if its leaking, i know its not corresponding directly with the exact spot of your problem but a oil drip/leak up there can coat the entire underneath of your car.

I just put it up on jacks. For some reason it appears that the opti seal is leaking BAD. It's running back and making a mess under the car. I wonder why it started leaking though. I guess I need to order the seal and water pump gaskests

Grrrr, if I gotta keep doing this nonsense a single plane conversion will be in order.
