all my wires under neath are secured as far as i can see, still there is no pressure ont he gauge, AND another porblem, oil is all ove rhte ground whenever i park in my garage @ night. i replaced all the valve cover gaskets oil cap gaskets everything, still leaks on the ground. anyone have any suggestions?


Front seals.  The camshaft oil seals are my arch enemies.  I think I have defeated them finally though after round 3, only to have the power steering connection start up.

front oil seal replacements I don't think will be cheap if you are not doing them yourselves.  The 5 seals I replaced came to a total of about $20-25 in parts, but will cost several hundred in labour I believe.

...crap, how do i find out for sure that this is what's causing my car to leak oil.? there is another factor here... the valve cover gasket was leaking like hell, and i fixed that, then there was a crack which leaked more and more, then i fixed that, and by that time my engine had close to no oil at all. so i filled it. could the oil leaking on the ground be from the first batch of oil, still making its way down?
