WIsh I could help more but don't know the area at all, and it's getting harder to know who is still around on genvibe anymore. Also, when genvibe switched forum software from zeroforum to phpBB, we lost the ability to search the members list based on location, so I can't tell who is or was from NOLA adjacent. I've read though the posts that VibeNation2024 linked, seems like a job bigger than I would undertake on someone else's car, as I am not that good of a mechanic.
How bad is it leaking? We're getting to the point as these cars age where cost benefit analysis comes in to repair decisions. Although not the best option environmentally, if its not leaking too bad, it might be better to just keep adding oil, and cleaning up where it drips.
