Any Ideas? It doesn't look like it is coming from above or the oil pan as there is no indication of oil. Is it possible there is some leakage fromthe rear main behind the inspection cover and it is thown onto the sproket end of the nose housing? Or can it leak though the bolt holes of the starter? Thanks...

While chasing down an oil leak today (damn oil gauge connector), I noticed that one of the bell housing bolts was loose. I am sure I torqued these to 30 ft lb as specified when the engine was out of the car this winter. What should I do. Re-torque to 30 ft lb. Use lock-tight, if so which one? Or use a lock...

I had to fix both kid's bikes tonight. One of the things I had to do was tighten the rear hub, which meant using a thin 16mm wrench. I have one.

The spankin new headlight switch that came in my harness kit is JUNK.

Everyone knows that no matter how carefully you wax the car, you WILL get a stripe or bump of wax onto the black textured trim, or the window rubber... and it seems that NOTHING will get this off of, or dissolve it.
