Ok everything is ordered just gotta wait for the valve seals to show up and the oem wires. Not bad for about 65 bucks shipped for everything.

Ok so it looks like I'm still loosing oil, I went and took my car in for a oil change at American Pride and they told me the same thing the last place did. That my rear mail seal looked a little damp with oil. Can anyone show me with a picture or describe to me where in the hell this is so I can put it up on the raps and take a look at it for my self. There is still no drops on the ground at all. Is this something that needs to be replaced asap? This one is a whole new animal to me so any info that you can share is great for me.

You can't see the rear main seal with the engine bolted to the transmission. The rear main seal is where the crank comes out of the block. There is a flex plate bolted to that point. Impossible to see it. The best you could do is remove the plastic inspection cover and look at the back side of the flex plate.
