I have been thinking about this a lot, the past few days.
While cleaning as much oil off as I can reach around the engine. The worst looks to be in the front of the engine, sprayed all over. Where I cannot reach unless I move the radiator.
Where does the oil originate? I read somewhere that this can be caused by an oil leak under the intake manifold in the rear end, towards the windshield.
Oil buildup on my generator also worries me, as the last one almost burned.
Or could it also be an oil leak from the oil cooler?

This along with the general "poor" condition of several hoses of different types. I feel a strong urge to have seals and hoses replaced. Along with the knock sensors.

Thus, I feel very tempted to try to do it all by myself. Even though I barely understand how difficult such a job would be. And would the engine have to come out, for me to be able to access everything?

Last but not least. How difficult is it to find the parts?
I can't think of anyone who are able/willing to do this besides MJ.
