It's not terrible. I've been letting it ride for a while. Just a counter size drop here and there. I'm gonna do rear seal and all at once soon.

Yeah Probably not a bad idea. It still runs strong, no misses or anything.

Mine did too. Amazingly forgiving engine. I quit driving mine until it's fixed to prevent further damage.
