Joined the Starquest brotherhood recently and am beginning my restoration. Let me propose my next plan so that I can be flamed appropriately if this is unwise. I have some oil leaks that need to be fixed (only seems to leak under load, not dripping much in my parking spot) 1. Clean the underside of the engine to track a leak that appears to be from the rear of the engine. 2. Drain the oil 3. Repair or replace leaky component as necessary 4. Replace turbo oil return (which looks soaked in oil) 5. Rebuild and replace oil cooler lines (also leaky) per Dad's DIY on the subject 6. Drop oil pan and clean out sludge, also look for anything out of place 7. Refill with oil and add oil flush solvent to break up deposits in parts i cant reach 8. Another oil change to complete the flush I did a search for "oil flush" and found nothing. I assume someone will jump in here and tell me why no one is doing one So yeah, a newbie question from a newbie dude. Thanks in advance.
