Some WEIRD Oil Leaks (HELP!) 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Thu Apr 4 07:03 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Ew. 20W-50 oil is just bad for your engine. Far far too thick. I've seen quotes of about $200-$300 for a rear main on a 240. If you've got a stick, you can throw in a clutch job as well for a lot of common labor (or you can wait until oil dripping on the flywheel drives you completely nuts). Lots of other things like the 4th gear switch and od solenoid if you've got an M46. If you've got an autobox it's the perfect time for the swap.

If you don't value your car at least $300.. I suppose there's lots of other things you've let go.
