new here and a first time zuk owner!
i picked this guy up last week dirt cheap!
have a few questions about my '87 1.3l...
the main question i have is the difference between GL5 and GL4 gear oil.
my tranny is leaking somewhere, i think it is near the rear of it cause it drips
a small bit on the exhaust right near the exhaust hanger, and possibly in the
front, but was wondering about that also...does the rear main seal aslo seal motor oil
as well as gear oil?
also, out of haste, i filled my tranny with GL5 75-90 gear oil...is my tranny gonna fall
to pieces? should i drain and fill with GL4?
after doing a very fast google about oil leaks on sammi's, i found my fuel pump
leaking out of the breather tube...that happens when the fuel pump is bad, correct?
and last but not least, after being under the car all weekend, i found this -
i'm pretty sure that is a dinger on the frame...i mean, i'm a total noob when it comes
to car repair, but put me in-front of a pc and i'll program a c based drilling rig software suite,
but is there any thing i can do to this? weld on some frame support? add some nerf
bars that support directly on the wrinkle?
the ding is pressed in about 1/8 on an inch.
thought i would come ask the pro's before i head down to that mom and pop shop on
the corner...
thanks in advance and great forum reads you have here!
