I also have a oil leak somewhere in there I guess an oil seal! What grade ATF are you guys using in your auto? What grade of oil are we supposed to use in the engine?

Will do the auto next week. Have dismantled timing assembly. Discovered rear cam had jumped or been replaced one thooth out. two of idlers ok but the one on the balance shaft is on the way out. Not sure which oil seal was stuffed so have pulled all three lower ones to replace. will get the parts tomorrow (I hope) & see how it goes.

Took a long time to get the job done about 4 hours (not having the proper tools was a bugger) Now I have discovered that the ignition timing is out as the last owner must have changed it to suit the cam being one thooth out. (in fact he had not even bothered to tighten the nut holding the sensor) It was loose & was just hard back against the stop. My timing light wont go so have to go buy a new bulb for it tomorrow.
