The good news is.....

...it is my oil pressor sensor that's leaking, and its leaking good too.

The bad news is, the input bearing on my diff is trashed from when the flex disc failed.

It's noisy as hell, but at least the driveshaft, U-joints and half shafts are good. DAMN!

Good news and bad news. I hope the repairs go well.

At least when its said and done, I'll have a completely rebuilt diff that should last another 20 years.

Just always seems like the car stuff comes in BIG chunks.

why is a leaking oil pressure sender a good thing?

Because compared to other places it could leak its one of the easier ones to fix.

Precisely.

Called up Patrick at BMA and a new one should be here on Monday. Even with priority shipping it was $11.

Didn't you just buy this car a few months ago?

Yes I did. Oil pressor sensor isn't a big deal, the diff, I knew it was on the downhill when I got it, but I was hoping it was going to last longer this.

Would have if I had gotten to change the flex disc before it failed, I had planned to the weekend after it broke, already had the parts and everything for it.
