I have both the loose pan nuts and leaky butt problems for sure. I may have the seal problem too....cleaned it all up good last night and put cardboard under it. I suspect I will be pulling it all out to be sure. If I do...I'll take lots of pics.

Sucks when you get stuck paying hundreds more than what you should cause they are unfamiliar with the car. Thats why I wanted to learn to work on my own car. Expecially since I beat on it so much, parts are bound to break.



I never changed a spark plug by myself before my clutch went on me. The quote on labor was enough to get me past that nervous starting point. Now I'm replacing the clutch and motor by myself on jackstands.
