We just did the VATS resister mod on my brother's car and it worked great. We also both had good luck with electric water pumps. For your oil leak, did you check the back of the intake? I remember those being known as a common leak point.

I am planning on doing the resistor mod in a couple days. I got lazy and just bought the unit because I am lazy. I am no longer going with an electric water pump.. just doesn't suit my needs yaknow? No leaks at the back of the intake(i think). I am 99% sure it is this seal since the oil is at the front of the engine. It likes to collect on the front sway bar.

I really hate to do this seal. I haven't had any cooling problems for the past couple months, and I hate to open it up again. But I'd rather overheat than starve the engine of oil. So off it will come. Doing my LCAs tomorrow I think.

Is it leaking from the from crank seal? One of my LT1's was leaking from there because there was a groove worn in the shaft of the hub that the crank pulley bolts to. I don't remember what they are called, but there is a thin metal sleeve that you can buy to fix it. You press it onto the shaft and then break off the part that was used to press it on, and it leaves you with a smooth surface on the shaft for the seal.

The corners of the timing cover are problem areas too, but you could check the shaft for a groove first without removing the cover.

I believe the timing cover seal was replaced when the rear main seal was done. The leak started this spring after I had the pump off. I'm fairly certain its the water pump drive seal.

If not well shit lol

If the crank hub shaft or water pump drive shaft are grooved, new seals won't fix the leak. Plenty of other things that it could be, but if you have it apart anyway, take a look at the shafts before you reassemble.

Yeah. I will. Doing it right this time

I have to do a new driver's side window motor soon.. ugh why couldn't i just have manual windows :(

Looked at my bill from my rear main seal replacement. They did the front crankshaft seal too. That is the seal behind the opti right?
