Looking to buy z32, but it has an oil leak.. help?
 
So there is a 93 300zx for sale near me. N/A, stock with a 5 speed. 150k on it

It has a clear title, and the body looks good except for the paint peeling, but there is an oil leak. He is not sure but says it might be the rear main seal.

Are there any common oil leaks for a z32 N/A? The car is 1800 obo, but I don't want to sink a whole lot of money into this car, I would just like a nice cruizer

How much Oil??..

Rear main is not bad.. I'd do a clutch at the same time, as the Trans has to come out.. Other place it might be leaking is the Valve Covers.. leaking down the back of the engine.. That involves removing the Upper Intake Manifold.. You will learn new cus words doing that job, as EVERYTHING is in the way of getting the next piece off..

Did you seriously just say pulling the plenum is harder then pulling the trans and clutch?

For a First Timer, Yes..

I did three Clutches before I did a Plenum pull.. Clutch took more time.. Plenum had more Blood..
