Hi Guys,
A while back when I bought my "new" 86 K5 many of you gave me good advice on all the things I need to address. Im recovering from another lower intestine surgery so cant get under it and start figuring things out just yet. I had two surgeries this year and cant risk another, its a literal "pain in the a$$".
Ok, this thing has supposedly a newer crate 350 with 7500 miles. Tranny and body have 87k miles, it was in a tow lot fovever before this guy bought it and built it up. On the drive home, the windshield starting fogging up a bit and a burning smell (didnt do this on the test drive). When I got home there was oil spray all over the bottom, dripping off the exhaust, tranny, transfer case. Some of you said check the valve covers, and the previous owner said he just replaced a valve cover. Also the tranny was just serviced so I do not know if they dropped it, but the engine was recently put in about 7 months ago. If its a valve cover, would it still be leaking just sitting ther not running for 3-4 weeks? Ive had it parked ever since I drove it home, and there is still fresh oil leaking all over the driveway soaking through the cardboard I keep putting there.
Just tried to upload some pics...cant get the website to work right now, if anyone wants me to email them let me know. Dont know if it will help.
Thanks, God Bless
Matt
