Default Mmmmm...oil

So today I FINALLY get around to installing my new stainless/teflon oil feed line to the blurbo. I figure most of the oil coating the underside of my motor is due to the fact the factory hard line was literally leaking at every possible fitting. So I change that out, fill it back up with oil, and my car starts slowly soiling itself. Nothing major, but worth taking notice within the next few months.

The starter is absolutely covered in oil. So I'm thinking maybe the main seal is dead? The motor only has 105k on it, but granted the car is 18 years old. Up top the car is dry, not a single damn leak. Underneath it looks like the damn Exxon Valdez disaster.

Have to say, the more we work in this car, the more I start to loathe my decision to purchase it. But hey, at least Craig did a super job painting my new A-pillar with gauge pod.
