my engine had an oil leak around the CAS area but i thought it was the head gasket. I went to the parts store and bought an additive that said it would fix head gasket leaks.... bad idea. The car was losing preformance, did and 18.5 at the track, the lifters went crazy on me ticking as loud as they could scream and my oil pressure started jumping back and forth...
enough weedy weedy, let the pictures do the talking...
pulled the engine
