KING JOKER Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 yesterday i went on a little trip to drop off my friends kids from a sleepover they had at my brothers house with his kids and i am about 30 miles from home and the cutlass starts to overheat. after it starts to over heat it then stalls. so im like wtf. :?: so i check everything and the car is runnin like shit and i notice the fans are not turning on. so i called a friend with a tow truck and got it dropped off at my parents mechanics shop because i didnt have any idea what was wrong so i go and pick up the car today and the mechanic says it was the computer so he reset it. so im thanking god that it wasn't anything then he tells me i am leaking oil. like i didnt know that so i gotta change the valve covers and the oil pump dive seal whatever the hell its called and the cutty will be up and running again.

Regal_GS_1989 Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I had the same thing happen to my 89 Regal GS. All i can say is pray that you didn't crack the heads. If your mechanic pulls off the heads, check in between the valves for a small crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Oil pump drive seal is so easy to change, I don't see why you don't do it yourself. Same goes for the valve covers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
