Omg Im losing all of my oil....
Can someone tell me what is leaking? I lost this much oil over night. Could it be the valve covers? They are really dirty. Patrick, can you give me some insight please? Since you know the car best..

That does look like valve covers, but it is hard to tell from oil on the ground. Has the oil been changed lately? Did you switch to a synthetic?
I've been planning an engine reseal "party" for a while now, maybe its time to get that plan in motion. That tritone I just bought needs a reseal too, at the very least. It might be a good time to scrounge up your pennies and pick up some valve cover gaskets. If you would like to head down here after I am done moving, we could co-ordinate with hondasucks (he's a scuby tech near here) and get the motor pulled and sealed. (Assuming he has time.) There is another member in town that I haven't heard from in a while who wanted a reseal too, Could be fun to have three engines out at the same time. (if you have a twisted sense of fun)

Doubt?
When in doubt where it is coming from--clean the engine thoroughly and then look for the leaks. Much easier to tell starting with a clean engine.

I would be up to that. We should get on that asap, as that oil was leaked out in one night. Im working on the interior at the moment, which wont be done till about next week more than likely. At least... lol. But after that, I would be up for it for sure. My power steering is leaking as well, thats the other liquid on the floor. I already changed the oring on that, its comming from the hose itself. So I might need a new hose, not sure.
ON ANOTHER NOTE Does anyone know how to take out the lighter assembly?
