Some background info...'89 4.0 auto 178,000 on the clock...wheel it lots but only ran it really hard once....
oil is dripping off the bellhousing and tranny cover....cannot find anything to save my life...
Things i HAVE replaced:
Oil filter adapter O-rings (all 3)
Valve Cover Gasket
Things NOT replaced:
Rear Main
Oil pan gasket
ALSO since in talking about oil...My oil pressure guage is always bouncing around....the harder i accelerate the higher it goes when i let off it reads about 20....at randome times it spikes to a right angle and points to the right and sits perfectly level but then will randomly settle back around 45ish. Also the longer i go with this oil leak the LOWER my Oil Pressure Becomes.
Any ideas on what is going on here?
thanks'
