how bad of an oi leak, before you change your engines rear main seal?

I know, I'm saying that other than aligning the clutch, the rest of the job is hard to screw up... just line up the holes and stick bolts in them. Take pictures while disassembling and if you're really concerned, tape and number the bolts and corresponding holes.
Also I've used LUK before and have no complaints about them, wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

And all I am saying is to take a look at it if you can. It would be the shits if you get a new clutch in and in 10k the timing chain needs to be replaced, or a hole gets ground in the side of the timing cover draining your oil as you're driving down the interstate.

Actually, that'd be great. I told my niece that I would teach her to drive a stick, and set her up with this car once I had it running. This car is old and beat, and probably worth a few more dollars than the scrapper would pay. I really want my niece to be able to get a job and have transportation because she has NO support from her family. Fixing this car is about helping her take her first step into adult hood. When I go to fix my Amigo, I'll take a closer look at things.
