    oil leaks, tranny noise, start it when cold and listen for piston slap. welcome!


    EDIT: i see its a 2.2, just look for oil leaks

    the head gasket problem with the subz are usually in all subz or in a select few ? as in oil leaks are we talking about oil pan or seals ?

    oil pan wont leak, 2.2s dont have h/g problems, the leaks will come from the oil pump or valve cover gaskets, which isnt a big deal, and is an easy job
