Dan, that's what I thought too. But the high and low pressure hoses on the expansion valve are bone dry. The only place I see any oil is coming out of the front of the compressor.
It's all really weird. I haven't cranked the car in a year and it pops before I even get a chance to crank it.
Backstory: Gen 2, car hasn't been driven or cranked in a year due to building a TT system. Car has been up on jackstands for the majority of this time.
I sat the car back down on the ground two days ago. I noticed yesterday that there was a puddle on the ground of neon yellow/green oil...
If you get the nice ujoints from unitrax they are about $20/pop. Factor in another $10 or so for each strap kit you have to replace on every ujoint. So we're up to $150 in parts. It's a fairly easy job to do, shouldn't take more than two hours or so for an experienced mechanic to replace them...
This was my exact thought process. I don't really want to wait that long to get a kit. If I'm doing the work it's all on me to get stuff done. Not to take anything away from RSI, they produce a great kit at an excellent price point; i've even ordered most of my fuel system from them.
