Hi everyone,
I was driving back home on Sunday and pulled into a rest area. When I put the car in park (on a slight incline), I heard a beep and the Oil light came on. So, I shut it down and waited for a tow truck. I was about a quart or so low on oil (just enough that sitting uphill set off the oil light). I chose to have it checked out before I traveled any further though.
The mechanic said that they could see the oil leaking from the main seal (not sure if it was the front or rear though). They put a quart in, and sent me on my way--as they weren't equipped to handle that kind of thing. So now I'm trying to figure out what it's going to take to fix this.
I guess the things I want to know are, what are my alternatives? Will this require pulling the engine out, or just taking some things off? If I have to pull the engine, what other things will/should I fix at the same time? The car has about 83,710 miles on it right now.
Thanks, and have a great day.
Patrick.
