so i started having a weird oil leak on the up pipe changed the valve cover gaskets and grommets, still leaked. Poked around on here a little and some folks have had rear cam seal o-ring leakage, most likely my problem or the turbos going south not likely considering still operates normal and doesn't sound bad.


So i tried to take my up pipe off and turns out its like literally welded on from never being taken off. I literally had to hammer off what looked like metal slag from one of the bolts. I don't have a good jack or stands so getting under there to try and use a breaker bar is out of the question

Also i don't have any air tool and I'm just not strong enough to brake it loose. I've had pb blast on all the bolts for 3 days now. all the bolts from the up pipe that met the turbo came off relatively easy breaker bar assisted.

So if anyone wants to help or knows of an easier way to access that rear main seal id love to know. I live in federal way washington and can pay a little for help really i just need the air tools plus having a buddy helps too.

thanks, any input would help
