Hi Tim, I just finished a major rear of engine refurbish to replace H20 pump, and that hard metal coolant line that runs from right bank cylinder head to water pump (looking at the engine from the rear). I spent a lot of time doing it "right the first time" and am pleased with the result. Needless to say, I did a few other things while I was in there and now Vinnie is dry as a bone, No H20 or oil leaks!!! At All.
I was getting oil leals from two spots: from the distributor shaft, and the base of the oil breather tower. Both have o-rings that seal them up and they are <underline>really</underline> easy to replace. Provide extra sealing with grey gasket stuff on the oil breather tower. Bought the parts I needed from TBD. Hope that helps.
