Ok, i get out of school, go to walmart, go back, watch boondock saints, then left. i get to the redlight and i take a left normal, i wasnt granny gassin not even gettin on it, and the right rear tire spun twice. i get to the next light and my car get ingulfed in smoke, i stop, check the tire, really way too low, and the smoke is under the hood. pop it, and see its comin from the "tranny hole" in the bay. i take a quick glance to the road behind me, i got a bad leak! i run up finger it like usual, cant determine the color till i get back to the engine...... suspense.... its red. ah, that cant be good. turn around start heading down the road and stop at the first gas station for air... 75c IT... air costs money now ???? i look under the car and i see a freakin puddle [technical][SIZE="4"]The puddle was about a litter, at the angle i saw it as if it were to come stright out of something just behind the wheel well (looked kinda like the car had a TUBE right behind the wheel well. Well it was dropping down right above the catalytic converter. not good, hot metal -flamable... so i say **** it, im not gettin it towed, it drives. so i get goin down the road.. well it only really worked in 3rd, since the vacspoogee feed the transmission functioned right, well it wasnt compensating for every gear to slip. so i would have to shift it down to 3 and then floor it, it grabs good i get up speed, slam it to neutral and coast, OD, 3, floor, coast. it would not do anything on a flat surface of up hills. well by the time i get to my apratments, i got smoke behind me like i was on fire.. i park it, and just walked away knowing what i'd see.[/SIZE] so now, im prolly ganna either get it fixed, or buy a new car and put this one out to pastures and mod the hell out of it. that or it will be at my dad's untill i got space for it.

btw, i know its prolly the rear main seal... problem though is the sealed tranny dipstick was popped off.. pressure built up and popped something so its prolly terminal.

[SIZE="5"]anyone know how long it'd take to do a 5sp conversion for an 87 5.0 LX sport coupe?[/SIZE]
