Parts for valley pan gasket repair
I see I posted a request in the wrong place and got no replies, so I'll try here, sorry for the duplication.
So I've had this little drip get worse over the past weeks. Coolant drip, drip, drip from rear of engine that slides along the drivers side bell housing and drips off. I used the coolant pressure tester thing and found a couple other minor leaks, but hard to pinpoint this one no matter what I do, just can't see where it originates. From reading others it most likely is the valley pan gasket, or loose bolts.
But to get to the bolts I have to tear a lot down, right?
In the RAVE I assume I need to do the 30:15:08 lower manifold gasket repair, can someone confirm this? I'm not that mechanically inclined, but usually follow directions pretty well to do things.
I was looking at the Atlantic British site, hoping to find a kit of everything needed, but do not see one. Is there a source for the parts needed? I'd like to get it all in advance if I can.
Any pointers on getting what I need sorted out would be appreciated. I have read a few posts that have some good info.
It's a 2004 S model if it matters. Have had the heads done (PO) and nothing else points to a head gasket. UltraGauge always at 194 degrees, oil looks good, etc., so hoping it is the valley pan.
