Hi Listers:
I confess to having been lurking and not contributing much to the list.  I
need some info from your collective wisdom.  I have been having small
amounts of oil show up in my coolant on my BJ8.  I have not found any
coolant in the oil, which would be much worse, i think.  Anyway, I think
there was a thread a while back about some oil passages that rust through to
the coolant passages and a repair for this problem.  Does anyone know a shop
in the Omaha, NE or surrounding area qualified to do the repair?  If they
have to pull the engine, as I suspect they will, I will have the engine
repainted and the clutch changed.  Clutch has been jerky on start up.  I may
also have a leak in the rear main seal or the front seal of the tranny,
which may be allowing oil on the clutch and causing the jerkyness.  If it's
going in the shop I'll probably have it all done at once.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
