addiing stop leak in a Gt-40

[prairiethunder]

Ditto on not using Stop Leak, and I'm not going to rag on you for not pulling engine when you have a new baby, etc... Congrats on the new edition... In regards to the pan, I have a 97 SN with GT40, looks verrrrrry tight under there, don't think pan gasket can be done without at least pulling engine up off mounts a few inches. If it's not making blue smoke and power seems fine, I'd just deal with the leak until you have enough coin to fix her. For now, get a few of the oil absorbent diapers/mats that they sell in all the performance catalogs (ie. Sumitt Racing) and place under oil pan. Might be able to put a small, non combustable wedge under them to keep them out of bilge water. Good luck with the little one!

i Have diapers lots and lots of diapers! they have absorbed almost everything so far. maybe i can get the little guy under there to tighten thing's up!

Two thing's that made me post the question:

1. lazy brain waiting for ensuing mayhem

2. concerned with the "tappet and cam lobe wear" thinking stop leak would really mess with them.

hoping it's the oil drain line connection or pan (hopefully just a tighten is req'd.... i do need to spend some time looking into it. the loss of oil is minimal and it's not severe enough to make me concerned with a major oil loss. everything is running good it's the mess it makes when water starts sloshing around into the "water cooler" and battery box.
