Slow weep around the oil pan but hardly worth speaking of. Bigger problem is the window seals at the top where it meets the ragtop and the front of the door when it rains hard. I get a wet left sock!
I know it's a no-no to go to an automatic car wash, but back when I had my '90 and before I had a house, I used to take it to one of those "touchless" automatic car wash places in the winter and every time when I got back in the car the drive and passenger seats were all wet. Same for my roommate at the time who had an '86. Well on Friday's they would let you sit in the car while it ran though (don't know why only on Fridays) and I did it one day, and holy crap, it was like Niagra Falls in there, a torrent of water entering through the corner of the window :eek: . So far no water leak problems with the '92, but only hand washes.

Wow, I thought I had it bad with a drip coming from the passenger corner where the roof meets the windshield and where it mets the targa. The weatherstripping is pretty dried out tho, being 16 years old and all. Do you guys think it will actually seal if I buy new weatherstripping or is it always gonna leak? Oh yeah, the main seal in the front by the balancer leaks very badly, gotta keep checking oil level.
Yes. My oil pan gasket and oil filter O-ring gasket ooze dime-sized leaks on my patio. Winter project.
Found a cool way to remove the stains in the interim, though. Just pour liquid detergent on the stains, let the sun bake it for 8 hours or so, then skeet the whole thing off with a garden hose when you get home. Works great!
