My thoughts exactly.


I suffer from a leaky rear main. It's not terrible but i did have a good bit of oil in the bellhousing of my f-ed tranny. The starter plate was covered in oil. It's probably been leaking since i purchased the car. No biggy. 1 hour to pull the engine, 10 minutes remove the trans, 5 minutes to replace a rear main......3 or so hours to put everything else back together. Why does it always take longer to put shit back together?
