[Shotimes] Front Seal

[Ron Porter]

Good point, the oil pan seal is a very distinct possibility. Plus, a
relatively cheap and easy fix. And while you have he pan off,changing the
rod bearings is an easy job.

If it is still the front seal, go to one of the MaxLife oils, they helped
stop the leak in my car.
