oil everywhere cant tell where the leak is exactly so going to do the rocker cover and leave the timing belt cover off so i can see when its running where the leak is.

dose that sound like the thing to do?
maby i should have done the front end seals at the same time :( ?

steering lock

it doesn't matter what alarm you have they can still tow yur car away or put it on the back of a truck so may as well trust it to keep stupid thieves from stealing it.

so if i was to remove the pin then i wouldn't have to worry about the steering lock at all?
