Oil Leak
Ok here is the situation. I purchased my FD with a pretty nasty oil leak, which i thought was coming out of the oil pan. So i set a weekend aside to pull the pan and re-seal it figuring it would fix the leak.
Well low and behold after letting the silicone dry over night and taking the car for a quick spin around the block. I pull back into my shop and the motor is dripping oil
. So i put the car on the rack and come to find out the leak is gushing out of the oil valley where the front cover meets the rotor housing (where the oil cooler line connects).
So now my next mission is to pull the front cover and change the gasket. I was wondering if anybody on here has done it and what all will I need as far as gaskets and/if any special tools?

if its really leaking that bad u may consider a new engine. most likely other things are leaking also.
