I've owned my 67 GTX for about 15 years now and at one time or another replaced most gaskets in it - valve covers, intake, valley pan, oil pan, oil pump/filter mount, fuel pump, etc, etc. Also rebuilt the transmission with special attention to preventing leaks and rebuilt the rear end with same attention to preventing leaks. Replace master cylinder and all brake components over the years. Recored the radiator and replaced all hoses as well as the heater coil. Rebuilt the factory AC and replaced all seals, o-rings, drier, etc, etc. Amazingly it's going on about 12 years now and never needed more R12 yet. Rebuilt the power steering pump and had the steering box professionally rebuilt.
Damn thing still drips now and then. The power steering pump has never been completely dry since re-sealing so I guess I will tackle it again. Drove into the drive way yesterday trailing a trail of transmission fluid which thankfully was just the return line fitting on the transmission that loosened when I moved the line some to replace the starter. The valve covers had loosened up and some oil was coming down from them. Still have some oil coming from somewhere around the front - hard to tell just where - oil pan or front timing cover seal. The oil pan gaskets face (windage tray sandwiched between gaskets) looks wet so it's suspicious. It seems like a never-ending challenge.
Has anyone ever dried up a Mopar completely?
