I had Pennzoil 10W-30 oil in the crank case. Mind you, I didn't drive the car over 45mph since I bought it back in August of this year because I had a vibrating u-joint. I've since replaced both rubber bushings for the center bearing. After replacing the bushings, I took the car for a long, hard drive on the freeway. I also drove it around town for two days to get used to it. I then inspected the engine and underside of the car for signs of leaks etc. That's when I found the leaks. I'm going to go back to the Pennzoil and see what happens. I must say that the B18D engine the previous owner installed, in my opinion, might be too powerful for the 444. I had to back off the gas when the speedo indicated 90 mph. Assuming the speedo was offscale high, by, say, 10 mph, 80 mph was still pretty fast for a PV 444.

Regards,

Patrick
