Re: Massive Oil Leak, top of engine under plastic cover
according to fcpgroton, I can have a pcv system kit for $157 shipped to the house. I hope that can fix part of my problem. I'm hoping to get it replaced by next week. Thanks for the help guys. Saved alot of money!

Same here, I'd be glad to lend a hand. I've had the same issue as you, and it's been months... Turned out a cam cover bolt was stripped by the idiot mechanics who worked on my car. They drilled it out and installed a heli-coil. I have a torque wrench and S70 repair manual if you are close by. I put RTV around the tops of the affected bolts on mine.

Just get me,cmblackburn and (Thor), and it will be fixed in no time. Get jblackburn involved and you might loose all your beer.

I get to Cary to see family once in a while and cmblackburn is in Durham, depending on timing, we might be able to work things out to lend a hand. The weather is warming up. Let me know if you're interested and what tools you have or need and we will see.

I go through Siler City on the way to Cary via hwy 64. That's even closer for me. We never take pay for helping out a MVS person. What's your work area, driveway or garage?
It's Easter weekend, but I could probably work out some time. With all our knowledge it shouldn't take more than a month or two.

Well not really.. Just see if you want to do it and get all the parts. Read over Justin's thread on it and make sure it's something you think you can do, with some or all of our help.
