i just posted a popping noise thread earlier. NOw I have a new problem and it is DRIPPING oil! I could smell oil when i was driving it so I looked up under neathe the car and noticed it was dripping at the bottom of the rear main seal. I thought it was coming from there, but then I looked above the motor and noticed a little oil on the vavle covers. I put my finger under the throttle cable metal THINGY (triangle shape I think) and it was really wet. Where is this coming from for that piece to be soaked with oil. I think it must be dripping from the top to the bottom and leaving a pouddle under my car each time i park now! WTF

I just bought this lemon and am ready to sell this piece of crap! any ideas what i can do? and if it is the rear main seal, how much are they to get fixed? thanks,
