    So I parked the car for a bit then took off, and I noticed a smallish spot of fluid under where my engine was.

    I choose to believe it's from the truck that usually parks there. Yep.

    It's fixed. Really. I hope.

      Degoop engine, rinse off. Wait for leaks.

        I don't own a power washer.

          Don't need a power washer. Get engine degreaser and read the directions! Or go to a car wash...

            I was at a car wash the other day. Am I supposed to open the hood before going through it?

                Might be the rear intake seal. Itll make a puddle like that. Crawl under and look.

                  Maybe I should just save up enough money to have the damn engine rebuilt. I probably have a half dozen busted piston rings or something anyways.


                  What does the average mechanic charge for an engine rebuild anyways?

                    Come to think of it, if an engine rebuild is on the agenda, I should probably replace the oil pan and oil pump while I'm at it. Could anyone tell me anything else I should replace while having this done?

                    Thanks again for input.

                      5.5hrs (more likely 8) + cost of getting engine renewed + incidentals (oil & filter x2, hoses, clamps, gaskets, etc).

                          my last machine shop bill was like 700 bucks for the block to be bored, crank polished, rods resized and fitted to the new pistons, block cleaned, and new cam bearings installed along with the engine kit. Then I had to put it together, and it was probably a solid 7-8 hours of work. You'd pay more for most any shop to rebuild an engine than you could buy a reman engine for, and most shops simply will not even do rebuilds. If you need a motor, you get a reman motor and thats it. They come with a warranty, where with a rebuild the shop doing the job has to be liable for it.

                            I'm prepared to pay $2500 for a completely rebuilt engine.
