 My '89 had a leak there as well. The repair was quite easy. All you need
is an oil filter wrench that will fit around the govenor cover. Getting
the O-ring wasn't much of a problem. Both the local dealer and foreign
car shop had it. The spring clamp thingy that holds it on was more
difficult to obtain. As for the ring remove the old one first and bring
it with you to be sure you've got a match.
