Re: vibration, and oil leak

[C1J1Miller@aol.com]

My '91 200q20v is giving me a low frequency, fairly noticeable vibration under
boost, especially apparent while cornering.  Occasionally get a noise under
the car as well; this is not noticeable under mild throttle.  The noise might
just be a sympathetic vibration of a heat shield... Any ideas?

Noticed a small oil leak; appears to be the oil pan gasket.  I'll try
retorquing the pan bolts; but are there any btdt for gasket replacement?  I'm
coming up on oil change time... do I need to drop the subframe, or just the
pan?  The oil leak is minor and been there for several thousand miles, but the
wet area has expanded along the joint of the pan/block, so it seems like time
to do something (no drop in level on the dipstick since last oil change).
