<p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 3px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px;">Hey.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 3px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px;">After I installed stock muffler hangers a few weeks back, my Corvair began to leak
massive amounts of oil from the left side. Unfortunately, I couldn't tend to it immediately due to work commitments, but it seemed as though the leak was coming from the oil cooler, which has to be removed in order to fit the left hanger. </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 3px 10px;

seals are actually straight-cut cylinders which develop a ridge over time. Happily, I had ordered new seals; after digging them out I found that, sure enough, they were straight-cut cylinders.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 3px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size:

rear, but definitely the rear. Hitting the brake makes it worse, although the car does slow down. Frankly, it's unnerving because it feels as if the whole car is going to shake itself apart. The juddering doesn't occur on city streets where I'm not going as fast. No noise
accompanies the juddering although the feeling is somewhat rhythmic.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 3px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px;">Thoughts?</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 3px 10px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size:
