Check carefully when you get under there. My '84 had a cracked oil passage plug that dripped more oil than I would have thought possible, but, of course, it was under full pressure. A half inch of JB Weld bought me about 50,000 miles!

Could be the three-belt pulley seal at the end of the crankshaft, or could be the oil pump. Haven't gotten under the van yet. Question: Can the oil pump be serviced without removing the crankshaft pulley? Thanks, John Rodgers |
