Apologies in advance... Posting from my iPhone while I wait for a tow-truck.
So there was a small oil leak in my Z which at first the dealer was saying was my oil cooler leaking but later said was the rear main seal. Since they were gonna have to drop the tranny they said they would also replace the clutch for free labor. I bought a southbend heavy duty clutch + flywheel + concentric space cylinder. They installed but I was having problems with the clutch due to tue master cylinder. Anyway they replaced that and e drugging seemed good until while I was driving (and accelerating) at about 60 mph I notice in my rear view mirror a huge trail of smoke behind me. I immediately pull over. When I do I see the oil pan light on the dash while I am trying to slow down/stop (breaks were barely working). After I am stopped and the engine is off tons of smoke is still coming from the engine compartment. I get out to see my nightmare... Oil is ALL over the place (right side of the car) and all over the right wheel. There is also a trail of oil from the street to where I stopped. I am very sad right now =(. I took a vid but need to get an actual Internet connection before I can put it on YouTube. I guess for now my Z is RIP. I have a feeling this engine is ****** now. |
