*Update*

Well I havn't really been doing much other than driving it. It seems that the head gasket above the trans is leaking, no pouring oil at an alarming rate! Enough to leave little pools on the trans! This car is amazing! Its like a rain forest underneath this thing! It would make any proper British car proud! It does stumble and puff some blue smoke once in awhile after you start it, so maybe its leaking into one of the cylinders as well? The PO probably overheated it at least once.

Lets see it still runs horrible, I drove it in 1st gear bouncing off the rev limiter for a few miles trying to put a rod through the block but no dice. It doesn't seem to burn any oil, its down about 1/2 on the dipstick since I started driving it in early december, its probably all from the leaks.

I found someone who wants to buy it from me for $300, sucker. Possible pending sale on that, I'd like to have it at least through Feb.
