Matthew: I think my oil drip leak was worse. The neighbors threatened to call the EPA on me for my oil spill.

My plan was to replace the oil pan gasket and the valve cover gaskets, and see how bad it looked.

To do that, I decided to pull the intake/exhaust manifold off since that sounded like fun. What I found was the line was TOTALLY plugged that is supposed to provide crankcase ventilation.

Guess what... No more engine leaks after I replaced the gaskets and opened up the plugged line. I hope this picture shows it. I had heard about the crankcase pressure being a problem if this gets plugged, and that it would cause an oil leak.

So... My laziness with replacing the front and rear seal actually caused me to figure out what the problem was and solve it.. I'm not pulling either seal now!!!
