I haven't noticed a smoke trail or oil where I park (same place at work every day, etc). Compression is 200 across the board. Dunno how the hell its losing that much oil unless the rear main seal is gone.

Ya that is a ton of oil, if your not burning it then you must have a huge leak somewhere.

I threw in some stuff for the rear main seal, supposed to stop the leak for a bit. Looks like it's working so far. I haven't had to add oil in a couple of weeks.

Not yet. I've been trying to wait for a cool evening to do it, and I have to do it after the apartment staff leaves for the day... since I can't open my hood on the premises lol.

Hell, I still have side markers to install but I don't have a dremel.

Finally, an update. Under cover of darkness I pulled my front bumper cover off and brought it inside to work on.

Notice how bad the lenses look. Arkansas highways are under construction more often than they're clear and open so I've picked up more than my share of rocks. One rock took out the passenger fog light.

Here are some comparisons between the damaged one and the new ones from Pat (cvcrcr99).

Yadda yadda yadda, removed the old, installed the new, shiny again. But it's too dark outside for a picture to work out so just imagine it looks like it's supposed to.
