Well finally decided to tear into my steering problems this weekend (stupid rain). Inner tierods were bad ( expected on a 260,000 mile car) and had a ton of oil leaks. Started off with the vtec solenoid gaskets ( one leak down). Second leak was the oil pan gasket, had the original gasket on the pan.
This is what it looked like when i finally got it off (HARD AS A ROCK, no wonder it leaked).
