Todd, I just want to add my 2 cents to what John had to say. You can easily replace the oil pan gasket if that is the problem. I changed mine not long ago and it was really easy. Unlike a lot of other cars, the Reatta Oil pan will come off without much problem. Disconnect the oil level sensor connector, remove the flywheel dust cover, starter and the bolts and it will come right off with a little sliding around to clear the pickup screen. I have the small reduction starter on my engine and I didn't have to remove it but if you have the standard, large starter I believe it will have to come off. Before doing anything else you need to jack up the car and determine where the leak is coming from. Like John said, there are several places that can leak that will look like an oil pan leak but on closer inspection may be something else. A good cleaning may be needed to determine where the oil is coming from. On the front (passenger side of engine) the timing chain cover gasket or seal behind the harmonic balancer will look like a leaking oil pan gasket. Also on the front the oil filter assembly can leak down on the oil pan in the front. In the rear (drivers side) of the pan, a leaking rear main seal can run down the back of the pan and give the appearance of an oil pan leaking. Remove the flywheel dust cover to get a better look. Good luck!

Mike, I sent you a PM.

Maybe F14 is the guy to see. He is making desk chairs out of Reatta Seats. See his recent post.

Thanks again Bob.

Thanks Bob, That is very nice of you.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a great car. You have came to the right place for help with maintaining it. First step would be to go to Reatta.net and take the brake test there to find what condition your brake system is in. Then report back here for help. You will find a lot of people here willing to help. If you have the brakes flushed follow the instructions at Reatta.net for best results.

I could use the center caps (wheel caps?) if they are in good condition. How much for the protfolio. Mine is missing?

Really, anyone could have been a winner if they wanted to bad enough. Of course I'm just kidding.

That's odd.

If you had expended a few extra keystrokes and gave a reasonable explanation in the beginning the last dozen posts here could have been avoided. Good luck with your plate.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">OK, OK, I'm sorry I started this whole thing. HOWEVER, it was nice to see the interest level the Reatta forum gets. Tell you what... I'll send both Robert and Ronnie/TDman a plate as soon as I get back to NY. (EDBSO/Robert e-mailed proof) I still have a few plates in my garage. Both of you e-mail me at RPopyk@aol.com with your addresses and I'll send them out before the end of the month, if not sooner. </div></div> Bob I'm confused. EBSO and Reatta are two different user names and EBSO has not posted today. Are they one in the same? Please clarify what you are saying.

Thanks Bob, I appreciate it. If I was not 100000 it is not necessary to send the plate to me. My argument with Reatta is just a matter of principal. All I ask for is some proof as to who posted #100000. Is there a place on the forum where the information is posted? Thanks again for offering the plate to the winner.

If manikmekanik was 99999 my post was next at 100000 yours was next at 100001. Show me something that disputes that or quit yelling I won without proof!

Poor explanation. Does anyone actually know?

How can that be?

Did anyone buy this car?

Last post

I believe 32 were killed at last count and 100s hurt.

Did you ever get an answer? I have an 88.

Any photos?

What did it sell for?

I would never deal with those guys.

Nice decal!

Thanks for the info!

I have changed my accumulator. Let me know if I can help you anyway.
