Price check on Aisle 1 Please... (Page 2/2) Patrick AUG 29, 12:11 AM quote Originally posted by Raydar: The "rear main seal leak" might actually be a distributor O-ring. Also, if the clutch is not slipping, but is hard to release/shift gears, I would suspect nothing worse than the hydraulics. At least until proven otherwise. If your oil leak is found to be something other than the rear main, I would forego the clutch job until it starts slipping or otherwise misbehaving. Raydar, you bring up some excellent points. The 35 year old distributor O-ring is probably rock-hard and leaking. And a car with only 46,000 miles probably doesn't need a new clutch. Fripp64 AUG 31, 08:39 AM THANK YOU for the tips...I've passed them along. I wonder if that O ring could be the culprit. I do note a very slight hesitation when cruising along at speed...maybe related to the O ring or ICM? Stay tuned and I'll post updates as they come in.

Ended up doing it myself instead. Blacktree SEP 02, 11:12 PM I can't comment on the paint work, because I have no experience in that field. But the prices for the mechanical work are very reasonable.
