[V8] oil leak

[Ingo Rautenberg]

You're talking driver's side rear, right? Yeah, that's where my '93 leaks,
too. I think someone had changed coolant types at one point before I got her
and suspect the headgasket's been eaten away.

Need to do full timing belt, water pump, headgasket and valve stem/guide
service on mine. Not looking forward to it.
