FLIPPIN COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, i go out and start my pick up today, cuz it hasnt been run for a few days, and its been below zero!! turns over slow(expected) then fires up. go in the house, come out 5 min later, back out and look where my pick up had been sitting, 2 big black spots. WHAT THE ????? OIL! turns out, i blew out the rear seal under the valve cover on the back side of the motor! holy shit batman. what a way to start the day!!

thats bitch for shure.. it least it was there and not on the interstate

look at the bright side; you just saved money having to get it undercoated.

the tranny anyways

Damn. What do you guys do in those temperatures, have to use a block warmer?

ive got an aftermarket oil pressure guage in now anyways. it was in myb drive way, soi know how much oil was lost, and i know exactly where its coming from. so, when it warms up a little more, maybe this weekend ill get around to working on it. and i dont have a block heater on it, havent had any problems before with starting, maybe a little slow, but always fires up!

today 34 degrees here and rainging huge chance for snow, im not excited

so, it ended up not being a seal, but a cap plug behind the cam on the block, held in place by the rocker arm caps. $15 from mazda! but...... back on the road again!! (happy dance!!!)
