Interesting, wondering how exactly the driver side would get accelerated by replacing the passenger side?

For now my drivers side isn't seeping or leaking any oil, like you said don't fix it if it aint broke haha.

 

Changing one side will not make a difference to the other side, although I prefer to do both sides for my customers at the same time. Keeps them from having to come back when the other one inevitably leaks.

 

Do you smell burnt oil from the seepage?

 

I never did, but when I got under the car I was able to see that oil had seeped out of the vc onto the bottom of the cylinder head and was collecting a lot of dirt/dust/grime down there. Lesson learned shoulda took a before pic!

It never got to the point where I had actual drops of oil falling on the exhaust and burning off.
