Yeah….

Right now its just a drip so maybe just maybe I got off lucky. I’m going to check it tonight. It happened in my 97 but it was a lot more than a drip the engine bay was covered in oil. I’m crossing my fingers that its not bad or its something else. But the location isn’t a good one. its actully on the curb im parked aginst if that tells ya anything.

KDP... Pull the fan and check in now, if the case starts to walk it'll rip the gasket and you'll leak a lot more than you are now. Gotta do something, .
