ohh this is not off your break line, that sounds like an axle seal, just got my axle seal and plus you will prbly need new wheel bearing pressed, gets half pricey

Things on mine needing repair (I'm repairing all next weekend hopefully):

-Driver side CV Axle needs to be replaced
-Both upper ball joints are shot
-Wheel stud on the driver's side front wheel
-One heater hose or heater hose clamp needs attention

All in all, not too bad of a list...fairly simple stuff to fix all things considered.

96 T100 with 191,xxx miles

Both CV axels have ripped boots. Not clicking yet.
Drums could probably be done soon
valve cover gaskets leak oil and probably will for a while.

My rear defroster doesn't work...if it does, it doesn't work very good. Other than that, my windshield washer pumps don't work either.

So I spent the weekend and re-did the timing cover and valve cover and all associated gaskets and seals. Did it without removing the head or pan.
Whoever did the timing last SQUISHED the head gasket so that it was pushed down towards the timing chain!!! Knew there was no way to save it so I cut it as close to the block as I could and used a bunch of Permatex sealer along the top of the timing cover.
Still leaks horribly.

I'm going to give it one more try and if that doesn't work then I need to install a new head gasket. Dang.

And I have a whicked exhaust leak near the manifold.
And my radiator has about half the fins missing.

I wish I was a millionaire!
