[Shotimes] Front Seal

[Rbade12@aol.com]

It is possible that the oil pan seal on that side is the source of your leak. 
I had a front side leak prior to doing my 60k and I too suspected my front 
seal. In my case it was the oil pan leaking. There are gaskets on each end of 
the pan [ E9DZ-6723A and E9DZ-6722A, seal oil, ~$11 each]and RTV is used to 
seal the rest. The y-pipe needs to be removed to remove the pan. 
And.........as long as you've got it out, throw that OEM y-pipe away, it's 
poorly designed!!!! Adding a Performance Plus pipe was one of the best things 
I've done to my engine.

Welcome! Pick up a Helm manual, <A HREF="http://www.helminc.com/">http://www.helminc.com/</A>, a good set of tools 
and ask questions. You can do it yourself ! You said you're meticulious, I 
promise you the dealer mechanics are not! I don't know where Colunbus is but 
if it's near Indy you're about 6 hours from Peformance Plus in Madison, WI.
