Thanks, this sounds like my next project!

How involved is it to replace the rear main seal? I guess if I am asking the question (and have never done it before) it is probably over my head!

The transmission is leaking gear lubricant from the bolt that is directly accross from the oil pan drain plug. It appears to be a 13MM bolt head. The bolt has a 13MM head, is about 1/2 inch long, a pointed tip, and it cannot be tightened. I backed the bolt off and there were some metal shavings around it. I have two questions! Does this sound like the correct bolt-I would think that the bolt would have a flat or butt end on it and not a pointed tip. Also, would thread lock or something similar applied to the bolt allow it to be tightened to a degree where I can get the drop leak stopped? Lastly, if it needs to be tapped, does anyone know what size tap I would need? Thanks

Correct-I did not pop the hood before I left for work today. Would I see the gas on the side of the engine if it were a leaky injector?

I just purchased a 1989 Comanche. It has the I-6 engine, 5-speed manual, and 4-wheel drive. The truck smells like gasoline even though there is no gas leaking (none on ground below truck). Have any of guys experienced this before? Any suggestions? I will post pictures this weekend.
