[Shotimes] When is it enough

[Leigh Smith]

On the oil leak I would suspect the front main crank seal or one of the 3
front cam seals.
Shaking / bad misfire could be a lot of things. Mine did just that went the
fuel pump got weak, and again when I broke a plug wire internally.
You can look for sparks jumping from the wires in the dark, and test fuel
pressure.
