Also I found the source of another problem while I was under the car putting the steering back together. I had replaced the oil pan gasket awhile back when I dropped the pan to clean out the sludge. Since then it had been leaking a little bit of oil (more of a seep). So I figured that this was due to a shifted gasket that happened when I was wrestling the pan back into place. While under there today I noticed it was leaking from the back on the pan near the drain plug. I felt around the back of the pan, and there was no oil on the pan above the plug, so it must be seaping from the plug itself. The plug is tight, so I guess it needs a copper washer as a seal. Thank god I dont have to drop that pan again!
