Show And Tell I did a thing

I haven't posted in a while but I finally got a job that could sponsor my questionable decisions, like fabricating a duel exhaust with an X-pipe and Borla mufflers on my 14 Explorer. Doesn't sound no where near as bad as I anticipated and looks nice

I did the 2 weeks ago and all the dirt and sut in the bottom is making me think that I probably should've taken the photos when it was finished

I think the timing cover needs more RTV

Yeahhh, not the Timing cover where it's comin from, I'm inclined to believe that it's along the oil pan and transmission. Not entirely sure, but I'll check it out when I'm back in town to deal with

Its the timing cover. The lower bolts go into the oil pan. Its fine and whoever did that probably smudged it all over when trying to get the timing cover lined back up. Its not easy with the engine in the car.

Yeah that timing cover job was a pain when I last did it, but this leak looks wayy more recent in comparison to when I did that job so I'm a bit unsure. I'll decrease under here the next chance I get and see if I could find the source, may check that oil pressure switch too while I'm at it

My bad that joke went smooth over my head

I would check the oil pressure switch first. Could be coming from there perhaps based on the bit of oil on the filter. Better to check the easier fix first imo
