<VV> Oil Leak

[Phil Ellis]

I had the same happen in September coming home from the 4 Clubs meet. The 
engine compartment was saturated with oil everywhere. I ended up changing 
(1) The main oil seal (yes it was leaking and I was planning on replacing 
the harmonic balancer anyway), (2) the oil pressure sending unit (definitely 
leaking from the hard plastic piece), and (3) the oil cooler seals (also 
definitely leaking). Now all is well.

Good Luck,

Phil Ellis
